Strummy Mummies is brought to you by the Mobile Music Hub in partnership with Exeter library. Strummy Mummies will be a new ukulele group. An empowering fun social experience for mothers in a child friendly space, where mums can come together to relax, create music and learn ukulele and singing, whilst their children play. Strummy Mummies will be led by qualified music practitioners, Eleanor Spencer and Emily Howard.
Eleanor is a professional vocalist with a wealth of knowledge to share about healthy singing techniques. Eleanor has most recently been working with the Mothers Who Make group, running singing and songwriting workshops at the library facilitating the participants to take part and perform in the Mothers On the Mic events. Emily is a professional guitarist and singer songwriter, open mic host, and the founder of the Mobile Music Hub that delivers music workshops for schools, youth centres and community groups around Devon. Both Eleanor and Emily share a passion for the ukulele and pop music, they love to knock out cheesy pop songs together at open mic nights in Exeter, they hope to share the joy it brings them to other mums in Exeter.

Strummy Mummies aims to connect mothers through music and hold space for musical experimentation in a safe nurturing community environment. We will be learning fun pop songs to play together, whilst the children are playing with their toys. We promise you there will be no nursery rhymes or wheels on the bus. We want to enable you to reach your musical potential while jamming out with other mums. We want you to have a relaxed experience, laid back, easy going, creating a welcoming friendly atmosphere. Children have equal status in the room and freedom to roam, the sessions will be adult centred, but children are welcome to accompany parents. Some children's toys will be available but please bring your own if you like. The sessions are for mums and non-binary people who hold roles as carers for children.
