Who would have thought you could make a duck call with a straw, or flying wing sounds from plucking balloons over a plastic pipe.  The Turning Junk into Funk free kids workshop held on 8^th July in conjuction with the Three Blokes and their Barbies was a great hit with the 35 children who took part. Thanks to the many parents that stayed to help the various musical creations come to life.

Anything was used from balloons to wire and everything in between. No piece of junk was left unturned as the clever Three Blokes mastered its musical ability for the kids to recreate. The workshop was divided into three groups, who came up with their own names, Funksters, Bombers and the Groovers. Each group had a turn at showing their musical talents to one another and then formed a group circle that was then conducted by some of the children with fantastic results.

The shimmering, clinging, clanging, banging, dinging, ticking, scratching, stretching, plucking, tapping, clapping, clicking, drumming sounds all had their place, with an attached happy smiling face.
