Subject: Gun and Spitroast trad
music classes - 12th September
If this email doesn't really
apply to you, please pass it to someone who might find it useful!
The next Horsmonden traditional music class is on
Wednesday the 12th September. The main tunes are Sussex Bonny Breastknot and
The Steamboat, but as usual there will be a third that we'll learn slowly by
ear on the night and which I will later record and put on YouTube so you can go
back and try it again.
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.

See you all soon I hope,
