Subject: RE: Tom McConville fiddle workshop 12 March From: Valmai Goodyear Date: 10 Feb 11 - 07:54 AM Tom has just sent the music for the workshop by post, so I'll be copying it and sending it out very soon. We still have some places available for the fiddle workshop and for David Newey's guitar workshop the same afternoon in a different pub. Evening tickets for Tom and David's performance at the club are still available, too. Valmai |

There are still places available for David Newey's half-day guitar workshop and for Tom and David's performance at the club in the evening. Valmai (Lewes) |
