Miss Riddle does... George Ezra's 'Shotgun' -- Welcome back, EC2!

Someone in my class - I don't remember who - challenged me to play 'Shotgun' on my guitar when I had it in school. At the time, I couldn't: I love the guitar but I've never learned anything except a few basic chords. Lockdown seemed the right time to practise... and to get my family involved with making a music video!

EC2, I miss you, I hope you enjoy this! Thanks for inspiring me!

Some of you have been sending Miss Riddle animations and pictures of what you have been getting up to - here are a few. If you want to see your work on this page, send Miss Riddle an email! There's some fantastic, fun stuff going on at your houses!

A concert from Miss Riddle

I have been practising my recorder during lockdown. I started playing the recorder when I was 10, and had lessons until I was 18, but since then I have only played it every now and then. I've taught myself a new piece, and I thought I would give a little concert!
The piece is called 'Pan Overheard'. I explain a bit about that in the introduction to the video, but I forgot to mention that Pan - a Greek god - played an instrument called the panpipes. This piece is supposed to sound like Pan playing his panpipes to himself in a forest.
