Music Day workshop is definitely ON and we even have dancers coming from a bit farther afield for the dance. The postcode for Lydham VH is SY9 5HB, but it is really easy to find as it is literally on the junction of A488/A489 just north of Bishops Castle, and about 100 yards south of Harvest Wholefoods.
I have a provisional programme which includes some generic/ contra tunes, along with specific tunes such as Halfe Hanikin, Ashford Anniversary, Argeers, Chocolate for Breakfast, The London Gentlewoman, Regina, Trelawney, Holborn March. There's 9/8, 2/2, 3/2, 6/8, 4/4, and 3/4 with tune lengths anything from 16, 20, 24, 32, 40 or 48 bars long. Some can be found online if you want a flavour, but all music will be provided!
Please send in your cheques so we can properly know numbers - payable to P Davis, at Music Day, Lower Farm, Shelve, SY5 0JF
Previously I'd linked to Springworks at The Gleanings, with Karen Tweed, but due to illness Springworks is cancelled

Music Workshop - June 9th
We have been incredibly lucky in getting two of our visiting guests to come back and run a whole day workshop. Paul Hutchinson is an internationally renown accordionist - he is the English Folk Dance and Song Society tutor at Cecil Sharp House and at Halsway Manor. In addition he is half of Belshazzar's Feast, one third of Hoover the Dog and leader of The Playford Liberation Front - all great bands.
Paul will take you through playing for dancing as a group - with emphasis on English Country Dancing - culminating in you playing for a late afternoon tea dance. The whole day is from 10am to 7pm and to make it easier for people a baked potato with filling lunch, together with sandwich & scone tea as well as frequent drinks are all included in the price of £25.
Sheet music will be provided in advance, so please book by 30th May by sending your name, address, email and instrument details, together with a cheque for £25 made payable to P Davis to Music Day, Lower Farm, Shelve, SY5 0JF, Minsterley, Shropshire
As part of the musician's day we have Maggie Hosking calling for the dance which will run from 4:30 to 7pm. Cost is £5 and includes refreshments. Maggie worked with Paul in Spain recently and they are looking forward to renewing their fun-filled relationship.
This promises to be a great day and places will be limited, so do book early - cut-off is 30 May
