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 Workshops)
