                The Village Music Project (steered by John Adams & Chris Partington) gathers the handwritten tune books of country dance musicians from the 17th. century onwards & publishes them on the internet so that today's musicians can bring many beautiful but neglected tunes back to active life. The books often contain songs, hymns, psalms, military & classical music as well. Some music will be available in advance & there will be a chance to inspect original manuscripts held in Barbican House, Lewes Castle.

This is a Lewes Folk Festival event.

In the evening, choose from the following:
*DANCE with RYBURN 3-STEP*
*SUSSEX SINGERS CONCERT*
*PEPPER'S GHOST MAGIC LANTERN SHOW*
