Monday Music Group
We have a weekly music group on a Monday morning, here are some of the reasons why people like coming along to the group:
"I have been teaching the group lots of guitar chords and runs for the past year. It is sometimes hard but really fun when I see people picking things up. The guitar can give you discipline and everyone always goes away with a smile on their face. It's good working together and being sociable." Caroline
"I like it because it is fun and it'd free. I like playing the guitar and the bongos and seeing my friends." Marcello
"I liked getting a shot on the electric guitar and amp. It made lots of feedback and sounded like the amp was haunted. I have been into the guitar since I was 14 and I enjoy playing together with other folk. Although I wasn’t too keen on the song we recorded at the Bridge Centre- Rock DJ by Robbie Williams we all worked together and it came out ok." Ryan

As well as our regular activities, Bridges Project had some really special one off activities during Summer 2010;

We had a spooky evening starting with a scary movie at Bridges Project followed by a trip into Edinburgh and the Royal Mile. Joined the City of the Dead Graveyard Tour. It was scary!
