Lewes Favourites tunes practice sessions 2010

Fourth Tuesday of every month from 8.00 - 11.00 p.m. - free admission

Elephant & Castle, White Hill, Lewes BN7 2DJ UK

If you would like to play English dance music, here is an opportunity to meet other players to learn and swap tunes regardless of what instrument you play, to what standard, and whether or not you read music. This is a chance to nail down some of those tunes that you recognise when you hear them but can't quite remember, to put the names to familiar tunes, and to play them over slowly until you are sure of them.

Printed music and computer software are available for 180 of the Lewes area's favourite tunes. A further 33 are now on the Lewes Saturday Folk Club website and people are welcome to bring tunes they would like to get a stranglehold on, with or without the dots.

The tunes are also available as a book, price £10, illustrated with dance notations from Sussex manuscripts, anecdotes, photographs of the habitats where they flourish and an index of the combinations in which they are often played.

Alternatively, you can obtain them in various computerised forms from the website. Discreet tape recorders are welcome if you don't read music.
