hi Valmai

Thanks for all that info. Does it mean that you can only do one day, though? it's 2 separate workshops?

You can do two days if you like, but they are indeed two separate workshops. To begin with, though, as we only have eight places per day, I'd rather people picked one and then put themselves on the reserve list for the other as this will give more individuals a chance to take part.

The evening shows are different, of course.

We have three masterclass places left for the Saturday and five for the Sunday, with plenty of evening tickets still available for both days.

Shirley would like to make it clear that 'masterclass' doesn't mean you have to be a master to take part. The days are for anyone who would like help and guidance in tackling English traditional songs.

We've just had a cancellation for today's workshop from a singer stranded in India by Icelandic ash. If anyone in Mudcat-land is interested in using the place, let me know before 10.00 a.m. Shirley was in great form yesterday and the evening was splendid.

A wonderful evening in which several of the workshop participants sang. Even speaking as a musician, I found it delightful that every floor singer sang unaccompanied.
