Guitar & Singing Tutor

Hi I’m Emma and I’m a guitar and singing tutor here at Glasgowbury. I’m a singer songwriter and have been involved in glasgowbury since I was just 5 years old. Having learnt everything I know through the tutors and staff here, Im delighted to be able to pass on the skills and qualities that were passed onto me to the next generation of music makers!

READ MORE

I have represented Northern Ireland in the Irish Youth Music Awards in Dublin in 2022 which is one of my favourite experiences to date! I was lucky enough to have worked with David Lyttle as part of the Jazz life Alliance ensemble and have done gigs in different places which have all been amazing experiences as my favourite thing to do is perform. I have completed grades with Trinity College in a range of instruments and singing and thoroughly enjoyed learning different genres of both classical, musical theatre, and mainstream music.

One of my favourite parts of teaching is seeing our common spark for performing and music in the children and helping them to progress their skills and confidence in order for them to express themselves in their uniquely creative and fulfilling ways.

Fionnbharr Ó hÁgain

Drum Tutor | Samba Leader

Having played drums for 15 years my love for the noise has not deminished in the slightest. Having first started lessons in school my first performance experiences came through the schools orchestra although I soon ventured into the world of rock with a range of bands.

READ MORE

Through these bands I have had the privilege of touring throughout Ireland, the UK and Europe and the once in a lifetime opportunity to headline the 2011 Syncronicity Festival in Kanpur India.

Here at Glasgowbury I am pleased to be able to offer a range of services including one to one drum kit lessons, group workshops in African hand drumming and group workshops in Samba drumming. All lessons and workshops are offered to people of all abilities.

One to one drum kit lessons

With one to one lessons the end goals are set by the individual students whether they want to study for grades or just want to be able to jam with some friends. Drumming will increase your self co-ordination through the use of all four limbs, will decrease stress and anxiety levels and keep you fit all at the same time.

African hand drumming workshops

Using simple rhythms and vocal patterns we aim to improve the team work within a group where participants are encouraged to help each other and work together to create a unified sound. Hand drumming techniques will help improve hand to eye co-ordination and activates both sides of the brain in what is an enjoyable communal experience.

Samba drumming workshops

Originating in Brazil the up tempo rhythms of samba rarely fail to make an audience move. Through these workshops the groups will use a variety of percussion instruments playing simple counter rhythms to create the overall sound. This encourages team work on two levels as each section must maintain their own rhythm and stay in sync with the group as a whole. Another way to improve self co-ordination and have some fun while making music and exercising you’re never to old to unlock the rhythms within.

Small But Massive Samba Band

Founded in late 2013 the Small But Massive Samba Band has grown from a small group of drumming novices to a 22 member strong, energetic drumming troop. With rehearsals every Thursday night in the Cornstore Creative Hub the band work hard to bring the “drum shine” with up lifting carnival rhythms to a wide range of community events including Derry City’s Banks of the Foyle Halloween Festival, Draperstown Busking Festival and Dungannon’s Picnic In The Park.

With plans afoot to create a junior band and creating new performance pieces we hope to keep the beats pumping for many years to come.

Gemma Bradley

Guitar Tutor

I’m a guitar and songwriting tutor here at Glasgowbury. I’ve been teaching here now for since about 2015. I hold a degree in Commercial Modern Music and Songwriting – which comes in quite handy when teaching.

READ MORE

I’ve been involved with Glasgowbury from the age of 9, through their Rural Key programme, so it’s nice to be able to be a part of the education of the next generation of participants.

1. Tell us what you do here at Glasgowbury Creative Hub?

I’m a guitar and songwriting tutor here at Glasgowbury.

2. What is your favourite thing about your role within the GTEAM?

My favourite thing about my role in Glasgowbury is that it’s a family and I love having the opportunity to help the next generation succeed on their music paths.

3. What has been a highlight of your time here?

One of my highlights has to be the Rural Key showcase, getting to see all of the kids hard work pay off as they performed their songs on stage.

4. For you, what is the best thing about the creative hub?

For me, the best thing about the creative hub is the freedom it gives people with their music. It allows you to do what you want to do in a friendly and constructive environment.

5. Has there been a moment when you felt that you really achieved something, or assisted with participant achieving their goal?

There have been many moments when I have felt I’ve assisted participants with achieving their goal, whether it be learning how to play a certain song on the guitar, learning a new type of picking technique, being able to hit that note or write their first song.

6. What are you skills and experience?

My skills lie in singing, songwriting, performance, presenting and guitar playing. I have been playing, singing and songwriting since the age of 9. I am a singer/songwriter and have played various festivals and venues such as; Electric Picinic, Other Voices Dingle, Glasgowbury, Stendhal and many more. I was also crowned as the 2018 winner of the Christie Hennessy Song Contest and have been on many Songwriting retreats; Nashville, Tileyard in London and Bayview in Carlow etc.

My distinctive sound has piqued the interest of a number of radio DJs as far away as WPPM in Philadelphia as well as several slots on BBC Across the Line and BBC 6 Music Introducing and RTE 1 Radio shows.

I am also the presenter on BBC Radio Ulster’s, ‘Across the Line’ the BBC Introducing Show for Northern Ireland. This is where I champion a vast array of genres and great acts alike. These skills can be transferred to performance and songwriting as it is my job to listen to songs in depth and speak confidently about them on air.

7. What opportunities have Glasgowbury provided to help develop your creative skills and/or career?

Glasgowbury have developed my creative skills vastly and in turn have helped my career. I used to learn guitar here myself and attend rural key workshops regularly. Without them I wouldn’t be able to play guitar as well as I can today or be as confident within my own songwriting abilities. Glasgowbury gave me my first opportunity to appear on radio as a guest and gave me my first major festival slot. Without these opportunities and encouragement I wouldn’t be doing what I do now, and for that I am very thankful.

8. Without Glasgowbury would you have had any alternative local options, to develop these skills without having to travel to the bigger cities?

I would not have had any other local options to develop these skills if Glasgowbury had not been there. It would have meant travelling to Derry or Belfast.
