Subject: Trad music class 25th
January
The next Gun &
Spitroast traditional music class is on Wednesday the 25th January. Dots and
abcs for the tunes - Drops of Brandy, Whinham's Reel and The Waters of Tyne -
are on the website now.
(We've had a couple of
tune requests - AM Shinnie and Hare's Waltz - which we'll have to do in
February!)
We'll likely play a
couple of tunes from earlier classes to warm up, but the real work of the
evening will be to concentrate on the new tunes, which we'll play steadily and
slowly, only moving on to the next one when it seems right to do so. We'll also
spend some time thinking about how we can tackle the tunes and make them
lively, danceable and interesting.
Towards the end of the
evening, we may retire to the bar for some rather more informal sessioning!
We meet at the Gun &
Spitroast pub at Horsmonden at 8pm on the second and fourth Wednesdays of the
month. The classes are free and all are welcome. If this email doesn't really
apply to you, please don't throw it away - please pass it to someone who might
find it useful!

access YouTubes of the tunes we're working with at:
See some of you there!
