From Beau Webber:
Fiddlers Various 2007: Tommy Peoples' tour of SE
England - Photo report
Well, Tommy
Peoples has come to South East England, and gone again, and a very remarkabe
experience it has been for both musicians and dedicated listeners like
myself.
There was a
capacity crowd of 120 at the concert the London Irish Centre, the Lewes workshop
and folk evening were sold out a month in advance (20 students / 50 folk
respectively), the Littlebourne barn workshop attracted 15 students, and
there were over 150 at the concert.
I have just put
up a photo-report of Tommy Peoples' tour on the web :

Various-2007_Tommy-Peoples_tour/
Fiddlers Various 2005 was
intended to showcase as many different fiddle genres as possible with 7 fiddlers
playing in about a dozen differenent genres.
2007 concentrated solely on
Celtic music, with the workshops, session and concert by Saskia
Tomkins and Steafan Hannigan in April acting as a run-up to Tommy
Peoples' workshop and concert.
So, if I do a Fiddlers Various
2009, what genres would you like it to cover ?
