DIDGERIDOO player, Mr Kevin Howard, from Saltburn, holds a workshop at Cowpen Bewley woodland park, Billingham, today.

The first part will consist of "ballooning exercises" for correct breathing and the group will then play the didgeridoo before learning a little about its history - as well as being a traditional Aboriginal instrument, it has roots in early Irish culture.

The workshop costs £6 per person and booking is essential. Details on 01642 415225.
