Hi
It's that time again- the
London Fiddle Convention (now the 15th!) is coming up, on Sunday 25th
Feb.
What's new this year? For the
first time we have sponsorship, from Vivace Violins, Ted Brewer Violins, Sonic
Violins, Thwaites, and Accusound.
Accusound have donated one of
their superb microphone systems as a raffle prize, and some of these companies
will also have trade stands.
As usual we have a packed and
varied programme. Appearing for the first time will be S.Harikumar, whose 7-string
violectra and super-staccato technique will leave you gobsmacked.
We're delighted by the return of
Loretta Kelley, America's
leading Hardanger Fiddle player. Gundula Gruen,Sarah Harrison and Igor Outkine will treat us to some
fiery Russian and gypsy music, whilst Karen Ryan will be back with some
great Irish fiddling. Pete Cooper,
Bob Winquist and Chris
Haigh will be doing their usual thing, and Joe Townsend and
Kate Hands can be relied on to turn up with something quite
unexpected.
I look forward to seeing you
there!
Chris Haigh
