Bree Fiddle School and Band Camp

Bree presents another exciting day of workshops on Saturday 18 February at Douglas Youth Arts Centre from 10am till 4pm. Top teacher and player Katie Lawrence will lead the young violinists in a workshop about fiddle techniques and performance skills, while all the other musicians will work on playing in bands… with a view to taking part in the Manx Folk Awards next month! The workshop day will conclude with an informal concert for family and friends at 3pm. The Fiddle School and Band Camp workshops are open to musicians aged 10 and over (school years 6 to 13) and students should be fairly competent on their instrument. The event is free of charge, but students must sign up in advance and bring their own instruments and a packed lunch. Under 16s must bring written permission from parents/ guardians if they need to leave the building during the day. The application form is attached here with KMJ (at end of newsletter), but if you’d like more information, please contact Chloë Woolley by email or telephone 695787. Organised by the Manx Heritage Foundation, Bree welcomes all young musicians, singers and dancers interested in Manx traditional culture. We have informal music sessions each month, regular workshops, perform at community events and busk for local charities. See: http://www.breeiom.tk/
