The Hobsons Bay Men’s Shed and the Newport Fiddle and Folk Club are uniting to show off the beauty of the guitar and the skilled musicians who make them sing this weekend.
As part of the Newport Folk Festival Presents series, the clubs will host the ‘All Things Guitar’ event at the Newport Bowls Club on Saturday, August 13 from 1pm to 5pm.
The afternoon will begin with a free exhibition of 30 guitars which Hobsons Bay Men’s Shed members created.
The creators will be on hand to explain the art of guitar making, while guitarists will demonstrate the instruments and illustrate the differences between each of the guitars.
Australian guitarists and previous Newport Folk Festival performers Nick Charles and Jordan Brodie will then be wowing audiences from 3pm with their fingerpicking skills.
