Mellor Brook Community Centre

The 5th Mellor Brook Fiddle Day

Saturday 10th March 2012 10:00am · Venue: Mellor Brook Community Centre
Back in 2008, musician and teacher Julian Taylor organised the first Mellor Brook FIDDLE DAY when he and Cumbrian musician CAROLYN FRANCIS delivered a day’s worth of fiddle workshops followed by a concert featuring BBC Radio 2 Young Folk Award winners, Last Orders. The success of that inaugural event is evidenced by the list of tutors who have subsequently come to the Centre to add their take on traditional fiddle playing: Nicki Williamson, Robin Shepherd, Nick Wyke, Becky Driscoll, Tom Kitching and Katriona Gilmore. This year, Sophie Ball and Hinny Pawsey will be presenting their brand of fiddle playing within the remit of playing for dance.

The day aims to encourage the passing on of traditional repertoire, skills and knowledge from England’s rich musical heritage and the focus this year will be on ‘playing for dancing’. 422’s Sophie Ball will be coaxing North East tunes out of the advanced group while Hinney Pawsey (Jez Lowe’s Bad Pennies) looks after the intermediates. Julian Taylor himself will supervise the beginners’ class.

Further details of daytime workshops on Julian’s website.

All workshop attendees will be given a concessionary entry fee (£5.00) for the Ceilidh later on in the day.
