While I'm holidaying in England I'll be doing a couple of workshops about the tunes Sally Sloane was recorded playing in Australia around the 1950's-1970's.
With permission, I've downloaded and converted a selection of interesting 'Sally tunes' into concert pitch - so you can play along and get a feel for how she played them on the melodeon, fiddle and mouth organ. Some tunes I've unearthed from her old recordings hadn't been transcribed before, and then there are tunes by Sally's [unacknowledged] melodeon-playing twin sister. Video clips from a unique archival film of Sally playing and singing will be shown as well.
There'll be a 90 min workshop at ECMW on Sat 23rd June with a session featuring Sally's tunes the following day, and a full-day workshop at Lewes on Sat 21st July.
cheers, Ian
