Hello folks,
As promised, I’m finally organizing another Scottish smallpipe/ Border pipes workshop weekend. The workshop dates will be March 14/15. Saturday and sunday will be full teaching days (10am-noon, and 1-5) 12 hours of instruction over the course of the weekend. Topics will include: new material for smallpipes and Border pipes, singing with the pipes (in gaelic or english), guitar and bouzouki accompaniment for bellows blown pipes, reedmaking, and harmony writing. All music scores, and reed making materials will be provided. Additionally, an evening ceilidh will be included on saturday night. The instructors for the weekend will be Iain MacHarg and Dan Houghton. All playing levels are welcome. Students are welcome to bring a sleeping bag and stay here at the house. The cost of the weekend is $50 per day, or $100 for the whole weekend. Tell folk you know to help spread the word. Stop random people in the street and tell them too…
Please let us know if you’d like to reserve a spot!
Slainte Mhath,
Iain MacHarg
