As part of the Lossiemouth Folk Festival, I have organised two workshops:

Mandolin Workshop

The morning MANDOLIN WORKSHOP is for mandolin players and players of related instruments (tenor banjo, octave mandola, etc) of all levels. We will be looking at ways of making tunes easier to learn, and how chords relate to the melodies we play.

Mixed Instrument Workshop

The afternoon MIXED INSTRUMENT WORKSHOP is for players and players of any instrument. During the session we will learn some tunes and collaboratively arrange them in an attractive and exciting way.

One workshop: £15.00; both workshops £25.00
To book, visit http://www.nigelgatherer.com, or just turn up on the day. Any questions about either workshop, email Nigel at nigelgatherer at mac dot com.

Good luck with the workshops although there's already more mandolin players than you can "shake a stick at" who go to Lossie Festival.

Do say "hello" to Johnnie S, Mick, Malcolm and many more when you're up there.

By the way, I just found this

I know someone would bring that up. Sigh.

You probably knew it would have been me too.

However, it was meant in good humour and I didn't mean you to remove it.
