NEFS Summer Workshop Weekend 2024 – Sunday

Ways into Chords and Harmony

with Stewart Hardy & Grace Smith

Sunday 30th June
9.30 am – 4.00 pm
Riding Mill Parish Hall, Millfield Rd, Riding Mill NE44 6DJ

One of the many wonderful things about folk fiddle is playing with other fiddles in harmony and the sound of massed strings! If you would like the chance to explore how to do this – how to play harmony lines, how to begin creating your own, how to accompany other players – then this is the workshop for you. Grace and Stewart will be teaching us tunes, and will bring suggestions for harmonies, as well as giving the chance to explore other ideas to create a wonderfully rich fiddle sound. We would love people to come and learn the tunes and will need tune players as well as harmony players, so whatever your experience of harmony lines there will be something for you.
