Zoom Session
NEFS Live Tunes with added harmonies
Friday 8th Sept, 7.00 – 8.30 pm
Informal play-along session on Zoom. Lots of fab tunes just for fun, with some extra harmonies thrown in! The notation is provided, with lots of tunes from the North East Fiddle School Live Tunes selection. Quite a few of these are also used for the Friday evening Online Sessions in Harmony, and harmonies from those will be provided.
There is no charge – donations will be accepted for the Stewart Hardy Music Bursary Fund, which contributes small amounts to individuals to help them afford our courses and workshops.
Details of the tune list can be sent by Ali on request. You don’t have to be attending NEFS, online workshops or JSArts courses to come along and you don’t have to make a donation – it’s open to everyone, so please tell any musician friends you think might be interested.
