Spare Parts (Bryan Creer, Suzanne Higgins and me) will once again be running part-playing sessions for all concertina systems at the Chippenham Festival (http://www.chippfolk.co.uk/)from 23rd- 26th. May. They are open to people who haven't bought a full season ticket for the festival.

The concertina sessions are on the Saturday morning from 10.00 - 11.30 a.m in the Rotary Hall and on Monday afternoon in the Angel Hotel from 2.30 - 4.00 p.m.


Bryan has just posted the music we'll be using on our website http://www.sparepartsband.co.uk/SPTunes.php. It's in .pdf (printable) and midi (audio) form. I can also send you a printed copy if you PM me your postal address and which sessions you will come to.

Best wishes,

Valmai

Well I hope you get some Mudcatters at this event. See you in the Island Park for a lemonade?

I certainly hope so, Sal - it's my favourite drink at Chippenham after Wadworth's 6X.

Tootle pip,

Great.

I'll have another shot at creating a link to our tunes page with the dots and the midi files: Spare Parts tunes

Good Lord, it seems to work. You'll find the tunes we're using in our English practice sessions as well as in the concertina part-playing ones.
Tootle pip,

Well, I hope some of the people turning up on Sat. morning to practise Session tunes have concertinas, cos the programme has got it wrong.

A slight misunderstanding which has now been corrected on the online programme. What we think we are doing is here.

Yes, I know what you think you are doing, just saying that those who have had the programme posted out to them may not.
I'm sure you'll cope with whoever turns up!
