The group is supported by a wonderful team of facilitators who have experience of working with people with a whole range of musical abilities. So come along and join in!

Facilitators use a variety of techniques; listening, watching, mirroring, reacting and reflecting, searching for the slightest sound or gesture to be the seed of an improvisation. A group orchestration is built by amplifying and developing the initial seed, then introducing and interweaving new themes offered by other participants. Building into an increasingly complex harmonic circle. It’s a richly rewarding experience!

Dig It describe their music policy as “simply to make people party: from deep house, electro funk and acid house, through to reggae, ska, funk, soul, blues and rock and roll and every thing in between, the only proviso is to make people smile: we have a large collection of DJ’s who chomp at the bit to be let loose on our number one mobile sound. As long as it’s quality fun, it gets played. “
