Subject: RE: The Newcastle course-Vic Gammon speaks
I thought the concertina section lacked depth., also only one flute teacher.compared to the amount of voice teachers that is very thin
As far as I know, the students have to opt for either two instruments or one instrument and singing. The number of instrumental tutors in each section will vary from year to year for each instrumental or vocal discipline according to the demand.
Good to see a dance tutor in there as well. At Broadstairs, I met young Pip Ives, who I have mentioned above and he said that I just had to see the female rapper team made up of Newcastle students; I am glad that I did for they were truly outstanding with Pip playing the anglo-concertina for them - I had only heard him playing melodeon previous to that.
