16 Jun 09 - 06:32 AM (#2657549) Subject: RE: Tommy Peoples fiddle w'shop Lewes 12/9 From: Valmai Goodyear 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. Valmai |
