Sandra Kerr has long been a brilliant & influential singer &
player of the English concertina. She specializes in the distinctive
traditional tunes & playing styles of North-East England. Her singing
ranges from the purely traditional to songs of social
justice.
Sandra is one of the core teachers on the Newcastle University
traditional music degree course & alongside this has a busy performance
& workshop schedule. Her songwriting rates alongside the best in the UK,
funny, acerbic & poignant by turns, & her musicianship has won many
plaudits from national & international reviewers.
The workshop will concentrate on the Northumbrian repertoire (including
3/2 hornpipes, rants & slow airs) & aspects of style: playing with
sensitivity, using ornamentation & chords. One section will also
concentrate on song & tune accompaniment.
‘She won’t want us to go on about her long &
distinguished career - but it is! A delightful performer & a great teacher
& musician.’ (Yorkshire Dales
