These pop-ups are a fun and creative way to explore music and connect with your community.

The event features 3 performers.

Iranian-born artist and musician Naz Masoudi will present an engaging solo inspired by her culture.

Peter Pellicaan will play the People’s Guitar, showing you how amazing this instrument can sound. After the performance, try it out for yourself!

The pop-up also includes a kazoo workshop with Danslands. He will teach you a simple medley of Bee Gees songs. Workshop participants are encouraged to bring their own kazoo. There will be several free kazoos available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Put your new skills into practise and join us on 21 June for a public flash mob. Performing with your kazoo at Bee Gees way, this high‑energy event will turn the laneway into a vibrant pop‑up stage.
