Lewes Saturday Folk Club Workshop No 164
Chris Sherburn: IRISH MUSIC FOR CONCERTINA (any system)
Places £35
Saturday 20th. October 2012
10.45 a.m.- 4.45 p.m.
                
Chris grew up in Yorkshire surrounded by folk music of all kinds & has a huge affinity with Irish music. He is one of the finest living players of Anglo concertina in the Irish style. He & Denny Bartley were founder members of the band Last Night's Fun; he's also appeared at the Proms with Bella Hardy. His playing is stirring, exhilarating & beautiful, with a wonderful way of combining dance tunes & songs to enhance both. He has tutored at Concertinas @ Witney & many folk festivals.
        The workshop is primarily for CG Anglo concertina but other systems are welcome. It will cover popular Irish session scales, left-handed & County Clare style, ornamentation & timing. Music reading isn't essential. For beginners upwards. Some music will be sent out in advance (dots & midis).
