Do something different

Series No. 3 workshop will be a North East Fiddle workshop with Paul Anderson on Saturday 7th March.

Paul Anderson is already considered something of a legend in the time honoured tradition of Scottish fiddle music.  He can trace his teaching lineage directly to Niel Gow, “The Father of Scottish Fiddle Music”.
A regular on Scottish television and radio, Paul has toured extensively and has recorded seven solo albums. Paul has tutored for SC&T in the past and his classes are invariably fully booked - sign up early to avoid disappointment!

The workshop is a great opportunity to learn something different in a small group environment. There's also a performance/session opportunity at the end of the day in the pub over the road for all tutors and participants, which should be fun!

This workshop for intermediate/advanced fiddle players will look at the techniques and effects which are essential when playing tunes in the traditional fiddle styles of Scotland and the North East, particularly strathspeys.

May 11 - May Festival: Day Of Song

A DAY OF SONG
'A Day of Song' aims to raise the profile of contemporary traditional singing as an art form and to raise awareness of the rich resources available to today's singers of the Greig-Duncan Folk Song Collection, gathered here in the North-East of Scotland between 1904 and 1914.

We aim to create a celebration and encourage young singers, and those new to the art, to see the potential for artistic development and new interpretations of this repertoire.

For bookings, visit http://www.abdn.ac.uk/mayfestival/events/2502/
You can pay on the door - no problem!
