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.
