Junkanoo Musical Adventures

14/02/2025

I am now working full time as an artist, painting watercolours and creating linocuts and woodcuts. To see our artwork visit our art stall at Lymington market or see us on Facebook at www.fb.com/Durnellart to view our latest artwork.

It was an absolute joy and a privilege to run music groups for Junkanoo for 20 years and at St Barbes Museum and Gallery latterly. A huge thank you to everyone who came along. Love and best wishes to you all. Aimee

Junkanoo is now happening on Fridays 10am to 11am at St Barbe's Museum on New Street, Lymington. This week we were journeying by train, playing instruments, dancing and chuffing through the galleries. If you would like to join in the fun, just book your place by ringing 01590 676969. Entry is by donation if you wish. This is a fun musical group for families with babies and preschool children to come together, play and explore.

Sadly Junkanoo is not restarting this autumn with the current covid restrictions. Hope you can find a way to celebrate harvest with your children. Keep singing and playing music and I hope we will find a way forward soon. Best wishes to all the families that I have met and played music with locally and further afield, Aimee
