BertramLevy Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 I am considering visiting the UK to do a series of workshops and concerts with my fiddle playing daughter and wondered if there is an interest. February or early March would be a good time for us. I have a series of classes called "Thinking Outside the Box". thanks for your feedback.

Jake Middleton-Metcalfe Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 that sounds pretty interesting, though it depends where in the UK, I am in milton keynes. If it was not too far I would probably go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Moore Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 I'd be very keen. I'm based in Kent, so London or anywhere I can get to by train would be perfect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will Moore Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Easy for Bertram too I should imagine - all the airports have services that go there. Happy to 'show you the sights' as they say if you do chose London. I know many parts well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hereward Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 I would go. I'm in Greater London. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimLucas Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 If the timing and cheap air fares work out, I might even fly over from Denmark. But I'm reading Bertram's question as having two parts: Who would be likely to attend a workshop? Several positive responses already. Who could/would arrange or sponsor such a workshop and make the necessary local arrangements? If not you, maybe someone you know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Hare Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 (edited) ...series of workshops and concerts... I hope the key word is 'series', and that Mr. Levy would consider including Manchester ('Second city of the Empire' ) in his list of places to visit. I'd be up for it...

BertramLevy Posted September 8, 2016 Author Share Posted September 8, 2016 thanks Jim Lucas for clarifying my inquiry : Who could/would arrange or sponsor such a workshop and make the necessary local arrangements? If not you, maybe someone you know? I am definitely interested in offering a series of classes around the UK. It appears there is interest in a workshop (class) around London and Manchester. I will be touring with my daughter with whom we have a fiddle banjo and concertina duo of Old Time Music from the piedmont region of Appalachia I am arranging some possible concert venues for us. Is there someone in the London area who would be interested in arrange the class? Roger: how many concertina in your area who would come to a class? thanks everyone for your response Bertram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Wild Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 The West Country Concertina players still have an annual weekend event in Somerset, usually the 3rd weekend in March. I do not know how advanced are their plans for next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BertramLevy Posted October 2, 2016 Author Share Posted October 2, 2016 starting to get serious about this trip - looks like the dates will be Feb 2 to 17 2017. I am working on a London performance venue for an old timey concert of banjo fiddle and concertina. If someone can provide a space I will do a class . If not I can offer some private lessons. We would be happy to come to Manchester if there was a folk club or venue that would have us (as well as a class). Cambridge as well. Also any suggestions for other folk club venues around the island would be appreciated. thanks bertram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
