Musical Equipment Donations
Do you have musical instruments or equipment that you no longer use?
Please consider donating them to The Twang Music Foundation.
​
Your donated instrument will be used by children and staff
for various TMF music projects.
Your donation will inspire a child to start on their musical journey
and give them the chance to practice and become
proficient on their chosen instrument.
​
Don't worry if your instrument its damaged or needs some attention.
We have the capability of fixing up and renovating a variety of
instruments and equipment, which might otherwise be
considered a write-off.
​
We hope that you can help us, or please consider
mentioning our appeal to a friend.
We had a visit from our local Labour MP Ellie Reeves who posted this lovely message on facebook.
"Penge's much loved Twang Guitars have launched Twang Music Foundation which aims to provide music projects, lessons & instruments to children in Bromley who wouldn't otherwise access music tuition. Such an amazing thing for them to do & I'm proud to support them".
We were delighted to receive a visit from Gloria Jones - The Queen of Northern Soul - the motown singer songwriter who is famous for singing the original version of Tainted Love in 1964 and being the partner of Marc Bolan.
Gloria founded a charity herself called the Light of Love Foundation which is building a music school in Makeni, Sierra Leone in West Africa as part of Marc Bolan's legacy and an ever-lasting tribute to his memory.
​
We have the common aim of giving children the chance to learn to play musical instruments.
Thanks to Ed from Love Da Beat Radio for introducing us to Gloria.
