NEW THIS WEEK

 

******************************************************************************
******************************************************************************

 

Fifteen year old FOAOTMAD banjo-player Edward Bennett from Penzance has just gained three awards in as many weeks attending festivals in the States. He has been playing banjo for just two and a half years, learning by watching Youtube demonstrations and at Easter he attended classes with Old Time guru Adam Hurt at the UK Sorefingers Music School.

 

Starting small, he scooped first prize in the junior banjo
competition in Morehead, Kentucky. Three days later, with an enormous rosette and $50 in his pocket, Edward and his father Paul travelled on to Clifftop, West Virginia where
Edward once again walked away with first prize in the junior banjo category – another enormous rosette and a further $100 in prize money.

 

Finally Edward was awarded third prize in the youth banjo category at Galax and took away an impressive medal.

 

Edward and his father Paul share a love of American folk music and are regular members of the Tuesday sessions in the Kings Arms at Paul near Mousehole and at the fortnightly niche Old Time session in the Union Hotel, Penzance. Edward recently played the Trereife Folk festival with the American folk band ‘Kate & Guy’
and he continues to play for the Shindig Cloggers who will be appearing at the Cornish Bluegrass Festival this September 17th-19th.

From John Wirtz...

 

DIDMARTON! THE FINAL WORD BEFORE THE SHOW BEGINS!
Thursday, September 2nd to Sunday September 5th, 2010 – Kemble Airfield, Near Cirencester.  Gloucestershire.

 

Have a look at the website to see who’s playing and when as the running orders for all stages is now on the site.

 

The Dance displays and workshops will happen under the trees if the sun shines or in a dedicated marquee if it rains (no chance!) and features festival residents Applejacks, Clogging master, Jenny Read and Spank the Planks from the south coast.  All going towards making a very colourful show.

 

The BBMA will be running the tuition tent and I can promise a team of amazing tutors to give you half hour lessons which you will be able to book when you arrive on site.

 

PLEASE NOTE: the sale of advance tickets is now closed but there are tickets of all types available at the gate.
All the information is on the website at www.didmarton-bluegrss.co.uk and we really hope to see you there.  I gather even the weather’s going to be great!

CLOGGING

 

******************************************************************************
******************************************************************************

 


Issy Emeney would like to report that that the flatfooting workshop she ran in May went very well. She had a mixture of complete newcomers to Appalachian clogging and some dancers from other appalachian sides and even some Morris dancers!  They are all keen to carry on so she is starting regular daytime lessons at Weare Memorial Hall near Cheddar. If any cloggers would be interested in going, please would they give her a ring 01934 741551 or drop her a line.
 
She is also doing another one-day workshop on November 27th at Weare.

A message and request from Ray Banks........
 
Message
I just spent a very satisfying week at Swannanoa Gathering Old Time Week, near Asheville, NC in which I attended an excellent class learning Kentucky fiddle tunes from their collector, Bruce Greene,who featured in a recent Radio 4 programme called Musical Pilgrims about his life as a fiddle tune collector, and made a very influential CD called Five Miles Of Ellum Wood (highly recommended - Nick).
 
I asked Bruce if he would be prepared, if asked by John Wirtz, to attend Sore Fingers as a fiddle instructor in 2012 (yes, 2012, the 2011 class will be instructed by Jock Tyldesley). Bruce said he would be delighted.
 
Request
Before I ask John Wirtz if this would be possible I would like to have approximate numbers of people who would like to attend such a class, in order to reassure him that it would be a worthwhile project for Sore Fingers.
 
I would appreciate it if you could please send me an email saying whether or not you would be prepared to attend a Bruce Greene Old Time fiddle workshop at Sorefingers in 2012. My email address is banjoray_at_blueyonder_dot_co_dot_uk.
 
You can find some facts about Bruce at www.brucegreene.net
 
Thank you
Ray
