Subject: John Kirkpatrick concertina workshop
From: Valmai Goodyear

John is doing an all-day workshop for Anglo concertinas and an evening performance at the Lewes Arms Folk Club, Sussex, UK on Saturday 16th. September.

Workshop places are £30 and advance tickets for his performace in the evening are £6. Our club-room only seats fifty, so this is a wonderful opportunity to hear John in something not unlike a private room.

Best wishes,

Valmai

Lewes Arms Workshop No 66
JOHN KIRKPATRICK
ANGLO CONCERTINA WORKSHOP
Places £30
Saturday 16th. September 2006
10.45 a.m.- 4.45 p.m.
The Lewes Arms, Mount Place, Lewes,
East Sussex BN7 1YH

        John Kirkpatrick is a superb singer, great writer, fine dancer & the best English squeezer bar none. He is one of the great solo acts on the folk scene & has played with the Albions, Steeleye Span, Brass Monkey, Band of Hope & many more.
        
The workshop will be an intensive look at playing the Anglo concertina in the 'melody + chords' style, aimed at players with some experience. Using the simplest of tunes John will cover the three-chord trick in the 'home' key and then push on into chord patterns for as many other keys as time will allow.

IN THE EVENING JOHN KIRKPATRICK PERFORMS AT THE LEWES ARMS FOLK CLUB
(admission £6; advance tickets available from the address at end of this form)
