John is running two weekend workshops for Anglo Concertina, based in Bishop’s Castle, South Shropshire.
They start each Friday lunchtime and go on till Sunday afternoon, finishing at 4.00 p.m.
The starting point will be Traditional English Dance Tunes and Folk Song Accompaniments.
April 8th – 10th – CHORDS AND KEYS ON THE ANGLO
A foundation session for players eager to explore how to add chords in the left hand to melodies in the right hand.
Probably not suitable for absolute beginners, nor for those who prefer the Irish style on the Anglo.
A chance to fully explore the two home keys, and peep at what’s involved with other keys and relative minors.
October 14th – 16th – MORE CHORDS AND KEYS ON THE ANGLO
A weekend for players who are already investigating the harmonic style and adding left-hand chords to their tunes. Join John in exploring how far you can travel away from the home keys with this approach!
Again, not for those who prefer the Irish style.
Spaces are limited. Full details at: https://www.johnkirkpatrick.co.uk/squeezer-weekends.asp
In The Church Barn, Bishop’s Castle, South Shropshire.
Chords and Keys on the Anglo – not really suitable for complete beginners.
You’ll need an Anglo with at least 30 buttons.
