Hurrah! The music for the Scottish pipe music workshop has just arrived and is ready to be sent out by email. It looks very attractive and I'm particularly looking forward to the duets and trios.

Vicki promises to send the nyckelharpa music very soon.

We have places for both workshops and also tickets for Vicki and Jonny's performance at Lewes Saturday Folk Club on the Saturday evening.

ask them how you write a tune to the rhythm of A Bollinder engine!

They will have the answer and maybe the CD's by now.

It would be an interesting answer.
