Parnell’s March
– a Northumbrian version of a lovely Irish tune which was popularised in the North East of England by ’The Shepherds’ (Willie Taylor, Will Atkinson and Joe Hutton). This gives us a chance to look at some articulation and bowing techniques used in the playing of jigs in the Northumbrian tradition.

 

A single workshop is £20, attend two for £35 or all three for £50.
Bookings open now

Flatworld (A. Cutting)
One of Andy Cutting’s greatest hits, this is such a fantastic English waltz with a continental flavour. Recorded by many musicians and still frequently played in sessions, this is a must have tune for any musician, but particularly anybody wanting to build up their English repertoire.

Pistache
This is a fabulous, mesmerising and hypnotic schottische which I learnt from the lovely Mary Moylett. She played the tune at a session on one of the very first JSArts courses, introducing it as The Perranzabuloe Schottische after the place it was taught, and I’ve been playing it ever since. Mary has a beautiful light touch with the bow and this tune suits that approach down to the ground.

The Wild Rose of the Mountain  (John Mason)
As co-founder and musical director of the Scottish Fiddle Orchestra, John Mason wrote over 600 tunes. I learnt this one from Willie Taylor in a workshop back in the ‘80s. It seems to be making a bit of a comeback and why not? It is such a beautiful and accessible melody, great for focussing on tone and intonation as well as bow control.
