Tonight’s session was packed with guitar music of many kinds. Sixteen members played ensemble pieces worked on recently -

Three duets and a quartet took over the music-making: -

| Georgie and Kate | Agua e Vinho (E Gismonti, arr. Ray Burley) |
| Derek and Simon | Guantanamera (Joseito Fernandez) |

In the break, welcome refreshments were provided by Kate, before we listened to another quartet and two solos: -
| David, Emma, Simon, Tom | Serenade (Franz Schubert) |
| Yanis | Adelita (F Tarrega) |
| Costanza | Alfonsena y el mar (Ariel Ramirez) |
