Hi Everyone,
Dave Gray will lead the next set of three workshop sessions. These will start on Friday 8 May (7-8pm),  We'll run them at fortnightly intervals. Dave will charge the same as Mel.
We have agreed to do Rue des Pres for this workshop. Please PM me if you want to join and need the dots. Dave will be sending a video based upon the intended tuition. For now, I've indicated some links below. The tune is in G and Dave is more than happy for GC box players to participate although he won't give specific tuition
The tune is the first one in this video. Speed and fancy bits will come later!. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ceGXAb4qLLI
Dave is playing with Jim Boyle. Rue des Pres starts at 1557. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aWHvPNGxGGM&feature=youtu.be&list=PLVufORD3WShQPgcgCuptqH1IPj24YcAzM
This video doesn't start at the beginning of the tune. Dave is playing with Jim Boyle. https://www.facebook.com/alpin.mcgregor.1/videos/10222556217162718/UzpfSTcwNTk0ODY0NTpWSzoyNDgzNjgyMjM1MjI5Nzc0/

GC BOX ALERT. 
We're now running another sub-group for GC players.
Mark Insley will provide tuition for this sub-group.  Please PM me if interested and Mark will contact you about dates, times and tunes. We'll run it on my zoom account. Mark will charge the same as Mel and Dave - aiming to help our pro musicians.
For information, Mark is from the Newcastle Uni Folk Music degree course. He plays for Morris sides, French dances etc. He likes playing in the continental style. He teaches face to face and electronically.
This is an example of him playing.

GC 3rd Workshop tomorrow 28 May at 6-7pm.

Mark will cover Bourree De Marrakech,
This tune is a punchy and anthemic two time bourree. It is a fairly simple tune with a lot of room for adding elements and variations throughout a performance. As well as teaching the tune, he will explore a few ideas and techniques you could use to spice up and vary the way you play it.
Please PM me if you want to attend and want the dots.
Here is the zoom invitation.

GC Workshop Tomorrow (Thursday 10/6) at 6pm
Please PM me if you want the dots.
Mark will be teaching Chanj tu, a Breton tune for the dance, an dro retourne. A popular tune and song which I personally think sits very well in C in the upper octave.
He first found the tune listening to the late, great Bernard Loffett. This is a particularly fun video, with Bernard absolutely shredding it playing to a packed dance floor.  It also gives you an idea of what the dance looks like. Singing and dancing in bare feet are not compulsory.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qRJWzME3Ehc
Here is a quick blast of me playing the tune.

Mind Nigel, you've had a miraculous change of look since last Friday! That must be a good hair dye.

Hi Nigel, Well done for organising these. Can I just ask what the format / aim is of the session? Is it mainly to learn the tune, or is there more going on about style/ technique etc.?
Hope you're keeping well.

Hi Pete!

I teach these classes. In each class I teach the tune in full and then demonstrate any stylistic techniques you can use with it.

 I cover each tune phrase by phrase using a combination of teaching by ear and sheet music. I then teach chords and any stylistic aspects we can add.

For example, in tonight's tune I will be demonstrating an interesting bass rhythm we can put with the tune as well as breaking down a particular ornament that fits nicely. For each session I provide sheet music as well as a youtube video of the tune being played.


If you're interested in attending tonight, just drop me an email at markinsley@live.co.uk

All the best!

Mark
