            Dave Townsend is one of the leading figures in the revival of Sacred Harp & West Gallery singing. His work with the Mellstock Band, performing, recording, publishing & teaching, is hugely influential. He is also a virtuoso English concertina player & fiddler. He runs the superb Hands-On Music Weekends at Witney, Oxfordshire.             The workshop is for singers. Music reading is helpful but not essential.

Places remain for the Sacred Harp workshop.

Dave Townsend has just sent the dots in advance for 'Awake & Join the Cheerful Choir', one of the carols he'll be tackling in the Lewes Arms workshop on Saturday 18th. November. This is also on the CD 'Under The Greenwood Tree' so non-readers may find it more accessible. Workshop places are still available.

Phil Humphries has also sent some music in advance for his 'Early Music for Folk Musicians' workshop on Sunday 19th. November. This workshop is close to being sold out.

Tootle pip,

Valmai (Lewes)

Wish somebody would do something like this around here (Denver, Colorado, USA).

I've wanted to learn this ever since I heard of it.
