Adam & Julia from The Sheridens will be teaching the basics of effects pedals. A workshop covering the basics of effects pedals, which are definitely not just for guitars! This session will break down and demonstrate the various types of sound effects, how they work and how you can use them in your music. Practical elements will include plenty of time for participants to experiment with different sounds, and build their own mini-pedalboards. You are welcome to bring your own instrument if you like!
Suitable for complete beginners as well as people who have a bit of experience messing about with different sounds!

❤ About First Timers ❤
FTF is a season of workshops followed by a two-day festival where every band plays its first show. FTF is about getting new faces and voices in bands, and doing something about the lack of diversity in the make-up of the DIY music community.
As a direct way of addressing the lack of diversity in the make-up of the DIY music community, our workshops centre people who are disabled (visible or non-visible), LGBTQIA+ folk, people of colour, and women. As well, we are here to support people who have never played in a band before // never played the instrument they’ve always wanted to learn before because of their class, race, gender, mental health, etc.
Our 2020 festival will be taking place on May 2nd & 3rd 2020. Applications from new bands to play are open:
