Valmai Goodyear Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 Spare Parts Concertina Band will be running at least one and possibly more part-playing sessions at the Folkstation Festival, Isle of Wight, UK, from 9-11 July. Bryan Creer has put the music we'll be using on the band website at http://www.sparepartsband.co.uk/SPTunes.php in pdf, midi and Noteworthy Composer form. These are three-part arrangements of traditional tunes. If you'd rather have the music sent by post, please email me on valmaigoodyear[at]aol[dot]com. The Festival website is http://www.folkstation.co.uk/. There are some excellent acts booked. Valmai Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valmai Goodyear Posted July 5, 2010 Author Share Posted July 5, 2010 Aha - we've just had our riding orders and are doing two of these sessions. In the first we'll do our three-part arrangements of The Speaking Figure (William Winter collection)Souhrepps Hornpipe ( Albert Hewitt, Suffolk) and Foul Weather Call (Sussex Tune Book). In the second we'll do Lord Nelson's Waltz (Joshua Jackson) Galloway Girth (Sussex Tune Book) and Galopede (everywhere). Valmai Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valmai Goodyear Posted July 31, 2010 Author Share Posted July 31, 2010 Hello, will those be the tunes for Whitby Folk week too? Cheers Ann Wotcha! No, we've got some new sets for Whitby. I'm just about to start a new thread on that. It would be great to have you with us. Valmai Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnnC Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 (edited) Thanks, I've downloaded the tunes from the link on the Mudcat site, now to try getting a couple of them 'under my belt'. The playing isn't what it was, having not done much for a couple of years, but I used to do a fair number of Playford tunes (and the odd tango) so with practice things should be passable.
