If anyone would like to learn some tunes linked to North Northumberland, Andy and I are running four workshops and linked concerts over the summer months in various venues along the Northumberland coast. Learn the tunes in the workshop and join in playing them in the evening concert if you feel brave enough! We'll be including some tunes from old fiddle sources (William Dobson of Thirston; William Darling of Bamburgh and the Farnes; John Readshaw of Alston). The workshops are for concert pitch (or as near as you can get!) instruments so G pipes are welcome. Contact us offlist at i...@pipesandfiddle.co.uk for details.
We'll be learning by ear, but will also have the 'dots' to take away - how's that for a compromise? Margaret To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
