22 Apr 06 - 06:57 PM (#1724920) Subject: Pinewoods Folk Music Week (CDSS) From: Desert Dancer Folks, every year I post a note to let people know about the Country Dance and Song Society's Folk Music Week at Pinewoods Camp outside Plymouth, Massachusetts. Here it is again, with a warning: use it or lose it! Each year it's a wonderful program with a mix of traditions from "both sides of the pond" for solo singers, group singers, players of various sorts, a touch of songwriting... and some dancing as icing on the cake. But, I know that it's always a struggle to get enough attendance, and the week usually has to be subsidised by the more successful dance-oriented weeks. This year you have the chance to spend a week with Finest Kind (Ian Robb, Shelley Posen, and Anne Downey) Dave Webber & Ani Fentiman Jeff McClintock of Friends of Fiddler's Green Jeanne Morrill Mark Simos Pete Vigour Alistair Brown Kathy Bullock Greg & Jere Canote Becky Hill So that's a mix of English, American, Canadian, Scottish, southern Appalachian, western, New England, African-American... what more could you want? (well, you'll get more Irish elsewhere, this summer!) This week has a concurrent old-time string-band class running, so it should be a great mix of folks. I've been four times in the past 8 years, but if I had my choice, it'd be much more frequent than that. Get your application in now!! ~ Becky in Tucson too damn far away |
