It would seem Emmanuel Pariselle can't stay away from Halsway! He's great company and a fantastic player, so it's really no bad thing. He's back this time with his long-time collaborator Didier Oliver with whom he's played and sung for 30+ years.
They'll be leading a Monday-Friday course looking at French music; Emmanuel will concentrate on working with melodeon players, Didier with players of mandolin and fiddle, meaning there will be time spent on instrument-specific technique in addition to exploring repertoire.

It's running alongside 'Talk Not of Your Dirty Acres' with Paul Hutchinson, a mixed instrument course looking at making arrangements of tunes from early dance manuscripts. Also worth looking at if that's your thing.

Basically, it'll be a week where the Manor is packed to the rafters with music and musicians, there will be times when both groups come together (and a rumoured trip to Pebbles Cider Bar / Gin Palace), and Emmanuel & Didier will of course perform a concert on the Thursday night.

Oh no ! Not another great Halsway event - wish I could afford that (on top of Blowza weekend then Leveret !!!)
I'm sure it will be wonderful.

At least BZB / Leveret running concurrently keeps travel bills down ;-)
