Downstairs at the Harrison pub, Kings Cross, on Wed Feb 8 in London.
A 2-hour workshop from Kevin Burke on Irish fiddle playing.
He's one of the best Irish fiddlers of all time (in not only my opinion!) and this is a rare opportunity for any fiddlers to pick up a few tips.

Please pass this info on to any London (or thereabouts) fiddlers who might be interested.

Wonderful, self-effacing musician and a great character
I remember him as a fresh faced youth with a weird London?Silgo accent.
A friend came into our club and said "I heard a great young fiddle-player last night"; we booked him and he turned up with his friend, flute-player P J Crotty from Clare - a truely magic night in The Singers Club, within walking distance from Harrison's pub - we still have a recording of the evening.
Whoever goes, get him to tell one of his stories.

He's a brilliant fiddle player and if you get him talking you'll roll round the room laughing. One of the real treasures of traditional music.
