Weekend Warriors

Weekend Warriors is a network for older lapsed musicians who are rediscovering the joys of getting together to play in a band. Our goal is to have fun. On this exciting programme older and lapsed musicians will get the chance to hook up with other like-minded players, form bands, rehearse and play a gig.
