[scots-l] Announce: Kelso Folk Club Jan 10

[David Kilpatrick]

Jack Campin, author of the EMBRO, EMBRO CD-ROM which has been so acclaimed for its lyric, commentary and tune content will be giving a performance-talk about this with the help of large screen projection at Kelso Folk Club next Friday.

As Jack's 'piece' is an unusual one, we have arranged for a first half concert set by young clarsach playing duo Flora and Corrie Collingwood. These two girls are very talented, and last year I made a short demo CD of them - these recordings can be heard on http://www.mp3.com/harp2harp
They have promised a 40 minute set with solo pieces and duets. Flora and Corrie will play at around 9.00pm, and Jack's show will be at 10.00pm.

I'll be joining Jack with some simple chord or bass accompaniment to some of the tunes he is playing on Friday, but I would welcome any other volunteer instrumentalists: tunes will include:

The Illumination - Lord George Gordon's Reel - The Scotch Hero's Reel
The Duke of Buccleuch and his Fencibles - Miss Gordon of Gight - Miss Haig of Bemerside - Balvenie Manor

for which I can forward ABC or a GIF score, sent to me by Jack.

I fully appreciate that this notice will be reaching many who are thousands of miles from Kelso, but if you play loud enough we'll hear you!

Venue: The Cobbles Inn, Kelso, Scottish Borders. Time: doors 8.30pm.
Admission B#4/B#3 concessions. Floor spots welcome 8.30-9.00pm, and open session to close. The pub serves food if required beforehand and we normally finish up around 12.30pm.
