Just a reminder that this is still happening:
Maine Smallpipes and Fiddler Workshops April 11-13
Smallpiper Ellen MacPhee, Fiddler Ward MacDonald and Guitar/Piano accompanist Jeff Matheson will once again be teaching the music (and dance) of Prince Edward Island and Cape Breton over the weekend of the 12th and 13th of April in Blue Hill Maine. There will also be a concert on the evening of the 11th. This will be the fourth such weekend.
Ellen MacPhee will also be teaching a couple step-dancing
classes.
This is a smaller music weekend, nice and low key and intimate. Do consider attending. You won’t be sorry you did.
