Subject: English tunes practice @Crawley Festival
Spare Parts (just Bryan Creer and me on this occasion) are running a FREE English tunes practice session on Saturday 27th. June at the Crawley Folk Festival, Sussex, UK. The session runs from 10.30 - 11.30 a.m. in the Hawth.

As always, it's be a chance to play through current favourite session tunes slowly plenty of times to get them fixed in the brain. The tunes we'll be using are on the Tunes page of the
Spare Parts website in .pdf and midi form , with slowed-down versions too.

All instruments are welcome. Even a bit of percussion can be useful keeping people together. Recording devices are welcome too. Copies of the Lewes Favourites tune book will also be available.

I'l have booking forms with me for Will Duke's Scan Tester workshop , Bonnie Shaljean's Irish harp workshop, and
Tommy Peoples's Irish fiddle workshop .

If you're not staying at the Festival in the evening, you could come and see The Claque
at the Lewes Saturday Folk Club .
