Stewart Hardy

North East Fiddle School returns with another block of fully online materials, plus a single day workshop in-person.

To round off Block 2, there will be a social evening on Zoom in which we will play through the video tutorial tunes taught this block, as well as many of our favourites from our Live Tunes repertoire. The event is included in the price of the Online Block or the In-person Workshop, and will be a lovely way to finish up the block.

George and I will be returning to the fabulous Cramlington Folk Club again this year, on Weds 13th April. Join us for some more of George’s moving songs and hilarious stories. I’ll be doing my best to keep up! This is the postponed gig from 23rd February due to storm damage at the venue. Please note the new venue for Cramlington Folk Club, and keep an eye on their website and Facebook page for any updates.

Once you have heard George perform his songs, accompanied by his guitar playing with Stewart’s fiddle, there is no doubt that the success of this highly entertaining duo is built on solid musical foundations
