Valmai Goodyear Posted May 28, 2009 Author Share Posted May 28, 2009 We've now got the music for the workshop ready to send by post or email. There are still places for this workshop and for Rob's all-systems concertina workshop in the same place on the Saturday. In the evening Rob performs at the Lewes Saturday Folk Club with Nancy Kerr and James Fagan. Valmai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
