Spare Parts (Bryan Creer, Suzanne Higgins and me) will once again be running English tunes practice sessions for any instrument at the Chippenham Festival (http://www.chippfolk.co.uk/)from 23rd- 26th. May. They are open to people who haven't bought a full season ticket for the festival.

These practices are a chance to learn some solid session tunes from the dots and by ear, playing slowly with lots of repetition, and to get used to playing with others. They run from 10.00 - 11.30 a.m. in the Rotary Hall on Sunday and Monday morning. You can drop in and out - you don't need to come for an entire session.

Bryan has just posted the music we'll be using on our website http://www.sparepartsband.co.uk/SPTunes.php. It's in .pdf (printable) and midi (audio) form. I can also send you a printed copy if you let me know your postal address and which sessions you will come to.

Best wishes,

Valmai
