Kate Lissauer's ~ Old Time Music event in Spain!
Kate Lissauer's ~ Old Time Music event in Spain!
In the wake of a delightful tour with Piney woods, we would like to announce an attempt to organise a second week of the Spanish Old-Time Music Holiday
in Andalucia.
The first week is full, and we would like to keep Dave Bing with us for a second week, due to an overspill in enrolment, and because it’s so darn FUN! To make this happen, we need a few more people to join us.
For information, read below, and contact Kate at this email for even more info.
Children under 14 are invited at half price.
Banjo and Fiddle week in Spain with Dave Bing and Kate Lissauer
The second Spain Music Week is announced at last!
Saturday to Saturday, May 10-17, 2008.
This is a holiday for fiddle and banjo players, old-time musicians or enthusiasts and anyone, playing another instrument or not, who wants to be around fiddles and banjos for a week of shared adventure, musical and otherwise.
Our home for the week is Nueva Luna, a lovingly restored farmhouse set in the stunningly beautiful, fragrant and remote highlands of Andalucia, near Almeria.
Tutors Dave Bing & Kate Lissauer will each offer classes on both instruments.
Additional worshops in guitar will also be available.
Workshops will focus on traditional fiddle and banjo style, technique and repertoire, as well as on encouraging all participants to play together formally and informally.
Individual assistance for beginners and for those wanting to learn other instruments will be available.
Out-of-class time is spent on hiking, swimming, (20 metre pool included!) climbing, photography, eating, partying, jamming, daytrips to the beach or mountaintop, or to places of cultural or historic interest, and night trips to the taverna.
The price for the week is £475, which includes room and full board of delicious home-cooked vegetarian and omnivorous fare, tuition, and use of all facilities.
Travel is not included, but we will assist with organising transport to and from Almeria airport.
Places are strictly limited, so we encourage early booking.
Contact Kate Lissauer for any further information you require, or to book.
e-Mail:
5 Christchurch Street West, Frome, Somerset BA11 1EH
or Phone 01373 474 110
If you know of anyone who may be interested, please pass the information on!
