Subject: RE: whitby folk week 2006
Back to the top of the thread where I was asking about Slow Sessions.
I was told that there would be some. Programme has just arrived and I am trying to choose from a wealth of options but I can only find one 'Gentle Music Session' Wed @1. Has anyone spotted more?
Can anyone give any hints about what the other sessions might be like? E.g at 5-7 on Wed there are 3 John Kirkpatrick in the Rowing club, Crosscurrent in the Fleece, Paul Burgess in Middle Earth. Is there any difference in repertoire, speed, crowding?

There's enough dancing to exhaust us if we did nothing else, so we've got value for our ticket

I see Alistair Anderson is doing "Beginners' Ceilidh band" has he done it elsewhere and has anyone been?
Mind you it clashes with the harmony singing.
And the Irish Set dance. So I'm pulled in 3 directions.

For Jim there's May Cheadle doing Intermediat Whistle and Beginners whistle (anyone hazard a guess where the line is?), Andy Casserley with an Anglo Concertina beginners workshop (anyone know what he regards as beginner?)- clashing with the whistle of course. Then there are 2 concertina repair workshops - do you suppose they'll be repeats?

Looking forward it
