Thanks, Dick. Running on a Saturday night does mean that we've got the daytime to use; we sometimes use Sundays as well, as we did a couple of weekends ago when Kerr Fagan Harbron taught five workshops for us in two days. We had 65.5 people in the workshops (the .5 was someone who could only manage half a day, he didn't expire half-way through) and 78 people in the club for their Saturday evening performance.

We haven't got particularly special qualities: anyone could do it if they are prepared to put in the graft (of which there is a lot; we do it for love of the music).

Tommy's workshop will be our 116th.

well done Val.
I think your workshops are a great idea, it is a that shame not many other folk clubs do this.

Dear Everyone,

Booking is now open. Last time Tommy came we had a huge waiting list, so early booking is essential to avoid disappointment. Tommy performs at the Lewes Saturday Folk Club in the evening; advance tickets are available at £9 each (see booking form below).

All the best,

Valmai

His website address is http://homepage.tinet.ie/~logo/tommy.htm.
      
          The workshop will concentrate on ornamentation & bowing. Questions will be welcome.
