Bruce Ncube is a Zimbabwean musician with more than 15 years of touring and traveling extensively in the UK, teaching, performing, and speaking in some of the world’s biggest platforms.
Bruce specializes in teaching songs from his country of birth, Zimbabwe, as well as other southern African countries in three- to six-part harmonies using multiple languages.
Bruce will lead two relaxed and welcoming singing workshops, teaching songs in Ndebele and Shona, two of the languages spoken in Zimbabwe. Each workshop will explore two different songs, so you can come to either session or join us for both.
No singing experience is needed. Simply come along, listen, learn and add your voice.
Afterwards, stay for a live performance from Bruce and his guitarist. Workshop participants will be invited to join them in singing the songs they have learned.
