**FREE FOR MEMBERS OR SIGN UP WHEN YOU ARRIVE** Hello music enthusiast, We're excited to invite you to our Songwriting Class held right here in the heart of musical Camden every Saturday at 2 p.m! Whether you're a budding songwriter or just looking to explore your creative side, this class is designed **for people under 30s and all skill levels.** Come be a part of our community!!! No matter your background or experience, all are welcome. Let's turn your musical ideas into real songs! If you want to know more information, text or call Thomas: 07310801741

Who wants to come see an artist attracting some buzz on various BBC Radio channels (6music and the more mainstream one)? It's also on a Saturday so no worrying about getting up the next morning (yay!) Some stolen artist blurb: "Gretel Hänlyn is a 20 year old singer, songwriter & guitarist from West London. Having been raised on a diet of Nick Cave it was no surprise that Gretel picked up a guitar & started writing her own gothic stories and songs at age 11. As she grew as a musician, started going to gigs & fell in love with Tim Buckley, Nirvana and then Wolf Alice, her songwriting began to morph into what it is today; a mix of hi-fi grunge, goth-pop and alt/indie ballads." Currently promoting her debut album 'Squish' (standout track Darkness Be My Friend IMO) you can check her out at: [Spotify](https://open.spotify.com/artist/39HYn2OCDJFkUauHXqwBsG?si=U5KCQqrzR0i8ok0sQsyB5A) [Youtube](https://www.youtube.com/@grrretel) Still remaining tickets (£17) at [Ticketweb](https://www.ticketweb.uk/event/gretel-map-studio-cafe-tickets/14948053?REFERRAL_ID=tmfeed&duplicate=1&googleaid=573cd54f-5b3a-4456-9e8f-d67c7ccd17d7), get 'em while there's some left!

We meet to learn and practice American Sign Language and to grow our familiarity with Deaf culture. Facilitated by hearing folks (with a connection to a professional interpreter) using Deaf-created content. People of all ASL skill levels are welcome! As we learn, we hope to connect more with the Deaf community in Central Ohio. Join us as you're able! Come regularly or just once - whatever you're looking for! Each meetup will explore different topics related to ASL/Deaf culture, and will feature time to practice conversation with one another. Just bring yourself and a willingness to learn!
