Subject: RE: The folk process and songwriting
On Sunday 6th. June 2010 there is an all-day workshop on songwriting in traditional style with Mike O'Connor at the Lewes Saturday Folk Club .
On the day before, Saturday 5th. June, Mike O'Connor and Barbara Griggs lead a workshop on dance tunes from Cornish manuscript sources; Mike has studied these and published a large and splendid collection of them under the title Ilow Kernow (Lyngham House).
Mike's songwriting is distinctive and informed by the traditional music and song in which he is steeped.
