Palatine Fiddlers Summer Term
http://www.fiddlemusic.co.uk/palatine-fiddlers.htm
The Palatine Fiddlers meet Tuesday evenings in term time 7:30 - 9:30pm at Mellor Brook Community Centre, Whalley Road, Mellor Brook. Blackburn. BB2 7PR.
These group workshops enable enthusiastic fiddle players to meet weekly in a relaxed, comfortable, and friendly, tutor-lead environment to learn and play folk and traditional music. You will learn through the playing of music primarily from the rich local repertoires of Lancashire and North-West England although we regularly dip into those of Britain in general and further a-field.
You will learn how to play the types of tunes commonly found in traditional music like jigs, hornpipes and waltzes, reels, polkas and airs.
The workshops are open to fiddle and violin players of all ages and abilities. You should have some experience and your own instrument. Previous experience of folk music is not a requirement and nor is the capacity to read music. If you play, at whatever level, and would like to improve, come and join us.
The Summer term starts on Tuesday 15th April. Hope to see you there!
The cost of attending the workshops is £48 per person per 12 week term or £30 for concessions.
