10 Nov 06 - 09:36 AM (#1881857) Subject: RE: Sacred Harp workshop, Lewes Arms 18.11 From: Valmai Goodyear Places remain for the Sacred Harp workshop. Dave Townsend has just sent the dots in advance for 'Awake & Join the Cheerful Choir', one of the carols he'll be tackling in the Lewes Arms workshop on Saturday 18th. November. This is also on the CD 'Under The Greenwood Tree' so non-readers may find it more accessible. Workshop places are still available. Phil Humphries has also sent some music in advance for his 'Early Music for Folk Musicians' workshop on Sunday 19th. November. This workshop is close to being sold out. Tootle pip, Valmai (Lewes) |
