Dear All

If you told me that you’re coming to the workshops but haven’t yet sent a booking form and fee (and that applies to too many people!) please don’t delay.

So far, we have 2/3 the number of firm bookings needed to make this unique, inspiring and fun weekend viable and I have to make a go/no go decision on 16 January to email out on 17^th.  So if you were waiting to get Christmas and NYE out of the way (as I know some people were), then now is the time to book.

If you have booked, but sent a paper booking form and not an electronic form, I’d be really grateful if you could email the soft copy version to me.  I shan’t be home for a few days and it will help me make some preparations and track progress while I am away.

Lastly, if you know someone who might be interested in the weekend, please pass the word!

Happy New Year

Jeremy

Workshop Details

In response to the success of last winter’s six half-day workshops in Moretonhampstead, Devon with Jo Freya and Flos Headford, and the subsequent feedback, there will be two full weekend workshops early next year. 

The first is on 22/23 January for intermediate / good players with Jo Freya (The Old Swan Band, Token Women, Blowzabella), Paul Burgess (The Old Swan Band) and Andy Cutting (Blowzabella).

The format will be:

• Saturday morning — 3 concurrent single instrument workshops (Andy Cutting—melodeon, Paul Burgess—fiddle, Jo Freya—wind/other instruments),
• Saturday afternoon — Playing for dance workshops with a mix of instruments ( ‘French’ / Blowzabella style, and English ceilidh)
• Sunday  — repeat of Saturday’s structure, but more tunes and more technique
• Places will be strictly limited so book early!

Accommodation – you can choose from bunk room, b&b, hotel, or holiday flat/cottage at Budleigh Farm; visit www.moretonhampstead.com and choose your own (mention you are coming to the workshops).  I should be able to arrange parking for motor-homes, and camping for the hardy!
