Eaves Green Community Centre, Eaves Green, Chorley, Lancashire, UK
"Slow and Steady" tune workshops
First Saturday of each month. 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. Your first visit is free and any further
sessions are £3 which includes tea/coffee and biscuits.
This workshop is to provide a 'half-way house' where people can meet in a friendly group
and play session tunes as slowly and steadily as needed. They also have the chance to pick
up tunes either by ear or from music. We aim to build people's confidence in playing with
other musicians, before taking part in the many wonderful sessions that can be a bit
daunting to players at first.
Concertina workshops
Eaves Green Community Centre, Eaves Green, Chorley, Lancashire, UK
Second Saturday of each month. 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. Your first visit is free and any further

Again a friendly bunch of people ranging from 'absolute beginners' to 'getting a bit
better now' through to 'not bad really'. All systems of concertinas.

in the Arts Centre, and will be led by Paul Barrett. Stamford is adjacent to the A1 and
just North of Peterborough and the A14. The Arts Centre is in the centre of the town and
there is plenty of free car parking on Sundays. The restored 17th Century Ballroom can
seat up to 250 persons, so we are not short of space. More details will be sent out as
soon as possible, meanwhile please make a note on your new calendars, we would be
delighted to see you here. If you have any special questions or suggestions please email
them to me. For details of how it was done this year, please look at my website (see above
