It took the barman at the Gun tonight to tell me I'd got the wrong week. I do feel silly, but that's nothing new...

 

See some of you next Wednesday.

Subject: Gun and Spitroast trad music classes - 6th June
To: Gavin Atkin <gmatkin_at_googlemail_dot_com>

The next Horsmonden traditional music class is on Wednesday the 6th June. The main tunes are The Oyster Girl and The Redowa, but as usual there will as usual be a third that we'll learn by ear on the night and which I will later record and put on YouTube.

 

We'll likely play a couple of tunes from earlier classes to warm up, but the real work of the evening will be to concentrate on the new tunes, which we'll play steadily and slowly, only moving on to the next one when it seems right to do so. We'll also spend some time thinking about how we can tackle the tunes and make them lively, danceable and interesting.

 

Towards the end of the evening, we may retire to the bar for some rather more informal sessioning!

 

The trad music class meets at the Gun & Spitroast pub at Horsmonden at 8pm on the second and fourth Wednesdays of the month. The classes are free and all are welcome. If this email doesn't really apply to you, please don't throw it away - please pass it to someone who might find it useful!

 

Download pdfs, abcs and access YouTubes of the tunes we're working with at:

See you all soon I hope,

 

Gavin
