performer of English traditional song & dance music. It is impossible to
over-estimate his influence on at least two generations of singers &
players. The workshop will explore Martin's approach to playing dance tunes,
especially Morris tunes, and to song accompaniment in his characteristic tuning
of CGCDGA.

You may have
noticed that our prices have gone up a little from February 2011. This is
because we are now being charged rent for the use of the club-room. As we have
kept prices steady for the best part of six years, we hope our supporters will
understand the reason for the change.
