CLIP

Looking for young people who want to make some noise at Colchester Carnival 2026!
We’re also looking for buckets and tubs to help us make our home-made drums if anyone has any! 🥁🥁🥁

Do you know a young person aged 11-14 who would like to make their own DIY musical instrument and march in the Colchester Carnival with CLIP? With rehearsals led by percussionist and drum teacher Ben Hunt, join our FREE weekly workshops and get curious with sound and music!

We’re also looking for empty buckets and tubs to assist with our drum crafting and we’d hugely appreciate any items like this you may be able to donate!

All sessions at Colchester Townhouse Youth Centre (in the town centre).

Workshops: Mondays 29th June, 6th July and 13th July
Performance: Saturday July 18th meeting at 12PM

Contact [email protected] to find out more and secure your FREE place or to let us know if you can kindly donate any materials!

Create your own alien instrument 👽 🔊

Colchester DMLab returns in May with a session exploring circuit bending. Experiment with the circuit boards of battery-powered toys to unlock an array of glitchy and unique sounds and develop a new skill for your musical toolkit. Suitable for all experience levels including beginners and people with more experience who would like to skill-swap.

DMLab is a free monthly meet-up for musicians and technologists to get together and dream up new ways to make music through accessible instrument design.

Tickets are free but booking is essential.
