Course For Young Players July 24 To 29

[Roger Gawley]

Are you a young concertina player between 14 and 20 years old? Do you know one?

 

Would you/they like to spend a week from July 24 to 29th in the surroundings of Durham School in the historic city of Durham?

 

The Folkworks Durham Youth Summer School has a concertina class for the first time in thirteen years. Even better, the tutor is Alex Wade. If you do not know Alex, you can see her at

as well as the video of her performance with Alistair Anderson and Star and Shadow Rapper at last year's ICA AGM on the International Concertina Association group on facebook.

Will her class be for all systems or just for the English?

[Roger Gawley]

It is a class for English concertina. If an Anglo concertina player who understands the difference wanted to come, they would be welcome but would not get much detailed fingering guidance.
