Guitars and violins made from wine boxes and cigar boxes, banjos made from warming pans and dog bowls, and bass guitars made from bicycle parts form the focus of an exhibition at IGLU in Inverness. Artist and musician Don Jack, otherwise known as Cigarbox Don, makes and plays these unusual instruments. These have led Don into magical adventures, playing with Rob Ellen on tea-chest bass (and an ever changing number of guests) as The Slim Panatellas.
The Slims play in some unusual venues from a cigarbox guitar festival in France to The Scottish Parliament. The exhibition runs from 28th October and will feature live music events over the 2 weeks with some of our friends. Programme and tickets on sale for music events on Sept 23rd
Ig:LU exhibitions are open to the public, however - to manage numbers effectively for night events, you'll need to visit the website and pop your name down, there is limited seating space.
When you arrive you'll just have to check your name of our list.
