School Holiday Fun: Backyard Skiffle Concert

What did The Beatles, Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page, Van Morisson and Queen's Brian May all do before they became rock gods? They grabbed Granny's washboard, Mum's best cutlery, Dad's busted broom and an old tea chest from the attic and formed a band.

It's time to take a nostalgic journey back to the 1950's Skiffle boom in England when the kids turned everyday household items into great music and went on to make rock history.

This interactive family show features lots of quirky old-time instruments and a joyous amount of crashing, banging and chaos. Let's call it a music history lesson with a touch of anarchy and a big dollop of good humour.

Mums and Dads: your pots and pans will never be safe again.

All ages.
