Thanks for the promo James but that quote is from a previous festival. I had a great time playing, teaching and performing at Chants de Vielle, but this year it's Gilles Chabenat that is the Vielle teacher and will give a great concert too. Gilles will be performing at various places in Canada through Sept. 30. For more information on the festival.... http://chantsdevielles.com/
I know a few players that will be taking Gilles workshop, maybe some of them will post a message about the workshop and festival. r.t. -----Original Message----- >From: "Winters, James" <[email protected]> >Sent: Sep 9, 2010 5:13 PM >To: [email protected] >Subject: [HG-new] the hurdy gurdy in Canada > >I saw La Vent du Nord ("the north wind") here two weeks ago.
