Jules Jackson of The Big Moon is offering online guitar lessons amid lockdowns caused by the coronavirus outbreak.
News of this comes on the heels of the band having to announce cancellations of their shows in Amsterdam and Antwerp, as well as a slot at this year’s Glastonbury Festival.
Jackson announced the initiative via Instagram: “BIG MOON SCHOOL OF ROCK I can play guitar, let me teach you. I can teach u any songs u like, but I know [Big Moon] songs better than anyone else on [Earth]. Beginners [are] extremely welcome”, she wrote.
The guitarist also added that “all money goes [directly] to keeping [the] band and crew alive for the foreseeable future”.

Most recently, The Big Moon were set to perform alongside Mumford and Sons on 23 March at the Royal Albert Hall during a week of fundraising activities for the Teenage Cancer Trust. With the closure of the Royal Albert Hall due to the coronavirus outbreak, the show has been postponed.
“We know this will be a huge disappointment to everyone involved in this year’s shows; the artists who were due to perform, their teams, everyone involved in planning the events and – most of all – everyone who had bought a ticket”, Teenage Cancer Trust said in a statement about the event.
“However, the health and wellbeing of anyone due to perform, work, volunteer or attend the shows is our overriding priority.”
