We are delighted to announce that Grace Smith will be teaching alongside Stewart this in-person workshop weekend.

 

The Saturday workshop will be similar to our usual format of tune workshops and a session in Wylam Methodist Church, together with some extra focus on troublesome techniques that our members have identified as particularly worthy of attention.

 

We have exciting plans for the Sunday in Riding Mill Parish Hall when, in addition to learning some cracking tunes, participants will be presented with opportunities to develop their musical imaginations and explore aspects of ensemble playing with harmonies, chords and arrangement techniques. We will, of course have a final session to round off the weekend and very much hope you can join us!

 

Plus the wonderful Frank McLaughlin will be coming down from Edinburgh with his guitar to join Stewart for an informal concert & session on the Saturday evening in Riding Mill Parish Hall (all welcome, donations encouraged).
