Workshop News

Yesterday we ran our first Horses Brawl workshop in Norwich, we had 9 participants on a mix of fiddles, flutes, mandolins and guitar. We talk the tunes by ear and then had a cup of tea of course, and then worked together on an arrangement which was really good.

Only one more HB concert til 2010! This seems quite weird after having so many, but we have so much writing to do. So hopefully there will be shiny new album next year.

I'm also planning a tune book with some of our source tunes in it, especially the traditional and anonymous ones, and a few of mine and Adrian's. That's a good winter project I think.

Anyway, need to practice for the Dragon Hall gig this Friday and then Cupid Dart's first concert on Wednesday. And teach, and write programme notes and write a huge proposal, and go to London for a medieval fiddle lesson. SO i'd better get on with it...croissant first though.
