Internationally renowned tutors Anna Esslemont - fiddle (Uiscedwr) and Cormac Byrne - bodhran/percussion (Uiscedwr, Seth Lakeman) are proud to present The Yukka Folk Weekend.
Now in its third year, this course brings musicians together to learn how to arrange folk tunes for performance. Through entirely practical learning you will discover how to create texture, variety and interest in your folk music arrangements.
Each musician will be assigned to a mixed group (containing some melody players and some backers) lead by one of the tutors, and you will get a chance to work on arranging two pieces to perform at an informal concert on the Sunday.
Sheet music with basic chords or a recording of the material will be provided in advance, so participants arrive feeling comfortable and confident with the tunes and time can be spent on the real task: arranging.
Open to all instruments.
