Betse Ellis workshop: Help for Frustrated Fiddlers

fiddlebetse — Tue, 23 Sep 2008 13:37:25 -0500

Start: 8 Nov 2008 - 10:00am

End: 8 Nov 2008 - 4:30pm

Timezone: US/Central

I will be teaching a fiddle workshop, on November 8, in Lawrence, Kansas.
This will take place at the home of Marie Alice L'Heureux. (She has no
pets, so no allergy worries.)

I've been working on some ideas to help frustrated fiddlers -- if you have
things that bug you or you feel blocked in your playing, I think I can help!

We will learn some tunes, but also will spend a good amount of time with
music theory... Don't worry, it won't hurt a bit. The fiddle is a great
tool for theory and there are some easy "tricks" that I can show you.

At the Gaf-Traditional Irish Session

Roger Fox — Mon, 25 Sep 2006 20:29:54 -0500

This can be a power session with up to 15 musicians sometimes. Very common to see 6-10. We play mainly 'pure drop' traditional irish tunes. ***The craic is mighty***

The Gaf has good food, drinks and a very supportive landlord.

There is always a good crowd of punters, including a bevy of lovely ladies who come for the tunes, drinks, dancing and who generally like to get out of line.
