As part of the “TradFest” series of events in Edinburgh, between 29th April and 11th May, a one-day series of workshops is planned to “Explore and develop ways of playing Scottish traditional music on the flute, covering different styles and tunes, technique, decoration, breathing, phrasing, tone production and history”.
Full details from the website below :

There are 3 tutors :

Gordon Turnbull [ Edinburgh ] - “simple-system” flute
Sharon Creasey [ Glasgow ] - Boehm system flute
Kenny Hadden [ me ] [ Aberdeen ] - “simple-system” flute

It should be an interesting, and busy day. We hope to arrange a session somewhere on the Saturday night, and maybe even beforehand on the Friday. All are welcome - hope to meet some of you there.

We still have a few places left for this day of tuition and discussion about “the Scottish flute and repertoire” if anyone is interested. Also, 2 sessions have been organised - one on the night before on Friday, and one afterwards in the Saturday evening.
Send me a PM for details.

I’d love to come, but number two daughter’s fourth birthday is on the same day. And I’m in a different country right now.
