… For one, we "ROCK" because we don’t have to worry about a nursery, childminders, school runs, the postcode lottery for schools or temper tantrums when an offspring becomes a teenager.  We have glorious free time!! This is by no means a support group.  I do not want to create a group to whinge about why we don’t have them (how dreadfully boring). I want to create a social circle of women who I can relate to without the stigma or pity because I am childless.  I sometimes feel bizarre or even the o …

Casual jamming sessions for people who: live in or near Twickenham play, own or can borrow an instrument want to experiment even if they can't play 'proper' music I'm most comfortable with guitar, trying to catch up on piano, and sometimes like to play hand drums.

British blues is a form of music derived from American blues that originated in the late 1950s and which reached its height of mainstream popularity in the 1960s, when it developed a distinctive and influential style dominated by electric guitar and made international stars of several proponents of the genre including The Rolling Stones, Eric Clapton, Fleetwood Mac and Led Zeppelin. A number of these moved into mainstream rock music and as a result British blues helped to form many of the sub-ge …

Scientists have proved that Fall fans are 50 per cent better than most human beings. This group may or may not prove the point. A niche spin-off from the justly famous Culture Vultures Meetup (http://www.meetup.com/culturevultures/), this group will raise the bar musically by encouraging enemies of whiny guitar pap to unite around the literate garage rock standard raised aloft by Mark E. Smith some 30 years ago (and still going strong). Join if you want to go to gigs by the Fall. That is o …
