Second bass workshop with Simon Carter

After the success of the first workshop on 28 March, Simon is running it again with ten places available. We have room for three more people. Register now if you want to join the workshop.

A workshop to introduce the Bass Ukulele by Simon Carter, BUMS member.

Simon has been a musician for most of his life, performing guitar and vocals live in various venues, both solo and in bands around Brisbane and throughout Queensland.  He started playing both the ukulele and Ubass in 2022 and has focused on the bass ever since. He plays in many bands and collaborations with BUMS and is often on stage at the Coorparoo jam.

Simon likes to teach simple and practical techniques to quickly help players of all levels enjoy their performance.

The cost of the workshop is $20 with a $5 dollar discount for members.  Remember to log in to Member Jungle to get your discount.

To keep the workshop personalised, Simon will be limiting the group to ten participants.
