A daytime Rock Band for lovers of rock and ROll

 What is
the Northfield Rock Collective?

The Northfield Rock Collective is a group for adults that meets regularly to rehearse and perform rock music in Northfield, Birmingham.


Rehearsals are led by a bandleader with the use of lead sheets and playing by ear so anyone with any instrument or all singers can get involved.

What music
will we play?

We’ll look at a range of rock music from the 50’s to today so there is something for everyone. Connect with the music of your favourite artists by learning how to play or sing their music.

Some artists include:
The Rolling Stones, U2, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, The Foo Fighters, AC/DC, The Beatles, Green Day, Jimi Hendrix, Tom Petty The Sex Pistols, Oasis, Stone Roses, Primal Scream, Fleetwood Mac...

Who can
join?

We welcome any instrumentalist or singer, whatever your ability, age, gender… This group is ideally suited for those who don’t read traditional music notation or like to learn aurally (by ear) but will also be a great place for those who want to improve their improvising and playing by ear if they are classically trained.

Your leader,
Rodrigo

An Argentinian composer, songwriter, guitarist, and writer, based in Birmingham since 2018. Rodrigo (Rod) has a Degree in Musical Arts, and over 8 years of teaching experience, including a position at the National University of Arts (Buenos Aires).

WHAT TO BRING WHEN YOU ATTEND
