The Souzaphone made its debut in the Lewes Favourites tunes practice session last night; unfortunately we couldn't get a photo of it with the Angel of Death. Valmai |

The band is busy rehearsing material for the next album with new line-up of Becky Price (accordion), Matthew Coatsworth (fiddle/viola) and Miranda Rutter (fiddle/viola). You can find the debut album on Spotify, and new tunes on |

06 Oct 10 - 12:22 PM (#3001060) Subject: RE: Village Music Project workshop 9 October From: Valmai Goodyear Bryan TheSnail Creer has just persuaded the Sussex Archaeological Society to let workshop participants look at the Sussex music manuscripts they hold; they are nervous of letting them go off their own premises in the Barbican House, but it's only about five minutes' walk from the Elephant through the beautiful heart of Lewes. The weather forecast is good. We can look at the books between 12.30 and 2.30 (our lunch break is 12.30 - 1. 30). Valmai (Lewes) |
