If you would like to play English dance music, here is an opportunity to
meet other players to learn and swap tunes regardless of what instrument you
play, to what standard, and whether or not you read music. This will be a
chance to nail down some of those tunes that you recognise when you hear them
but can't quite remember, to put the names to familiar tunes, and to play them
over slowly until you are sure of them. Printed music and computer software
are available for 180 of the Lewes area's favourite tunes.
The tunes are
now available as a book, price £10, illustrated with dance notations from
Sussex manuscripts, anecdotes, photographs of the habitats where they flourish
and an index of the combinations in which they are often
played. You can also download them from the club website http://www.lewesarmsfolkclub.org/
(note new address) in Noteworthy Composer, abc and midi. Discreet tape
recorders are welcome if you don't read music. We meet in the upstairs room of
the Lewes Arms, Mount Place, Lewes, at 8.00 pm on the following evenings (all
Wednesdays except where marked):
