workshops

I have given folk-fiddle workshops for Norfolk Fiddlers, the Gorleston Festival, Saint Felix School, and Graz Conservatory in Austria.  Below are some resources. Please also see the Norfolk Fiddlers website for some information about a 2-day beginner folk-fiddle workshop held in 2010.

Here is a video of Cooleys played slowly to demonstrate styles of bowing and ornamentation


Anna Ludlow playing Calliope House & St Ann's Reel (sheet music below)



Thanks to Adrian Lever for his permission to distribute the Peter Man track for educational purposes.  And to the Kathryn Tickell band, from whose album "Air Dancing" that tune is taken. And to Philippe Barnes for his permission to use the mp3s he recorded of me playing some Licence to Ceilidh tunes.
