Giving something back
hago don't just take guitar into the community, we want to give something too. That's why we play Concerts in aid of local charities, who perform such magnificent work on a shoe-string budget. We're proud to raise funds for them - £48,612 so far (*).
Derek started fund-raising in 1988. hago's earliest Concerts were shared with Derek's long-standing informal ensemble, the Guitar Workshop - and our joint fund-raising total is also on Derek's guitar ensemble website
You can help!
Our guitar concerts page has our forthcoming concerts - do come and help hago help others. Some of our Concerts have raised over £1000 for good causes!
