The Royal Oak, Station Street, Lewes,
East Sussex BN7 2DA
James Fagan is a leading player of the flat-backed bouzouki, with a
wide range of stylistic approaches & a love of both instrumental &
song-based music. He has given workshops on this versatile instrument
internationally. His teaching is personal, challenging & inspiring. His
duo with NANCY KERR has attracted many ears & two BBC Folk
awards.
Bouzouki, cittern & octave mandolin/mandola
players are all welcome at the workshop. We will look at tunings (specialising
in GDAD, but GDAE players are encouraged to participate & will expand
their boundaries considerably); rhythmic styles, chordal progressions &
adding interest to the accompaniment of both tunes & songs, with great
emphasis on becoming a better all-round accompanist. Tunes will be taught both
by ear & with music.
