John Kirkpatrick is a superb singer, great writer, fine dancer & the best English squeezer bar none. He is one of the great solo acts on the folk scene & has played with the Albions, Steeleye Span, Brass Monkey, Band of Hope & many more.

 

"Modes" are kinds of scales that are not quite the same as the common Do Re Me variety. John will explain exactly what they are, how they behave, where you find them in English folk music, and what to do with with them once you've identified what they are. Modes demystyfied. Of interest to any instrumentalist or singer, but more suitable for instrumentalists.
