Welcome to this March/April 2010 update.
See Workshops for details of Pete’s classes and private fiddle lessons, including his workshops in Japan and 12-week course in ‘Scottish Traditional Fiddle’ at the London Fiddle School, Cecil Sharp House starting 28 April
See News for reactions to Rattle on the Stovepipe’s new album, No Use in Crying, and the band’s upcoming compilation CD So Far So Good. Students at Pete’s fiddle class tackle challenging material from his American Old Time Fiddle Tunes book/ CD, and survive, and PC joins FiddleOn magazine’s celebration of its 10th birthday at an Elizabethan manor house he first visited as a nine-year-old cyclist.
See Musings for an extract from ‘Sakura Fiddles, PC’s 2008 trip to Japan,’ plus an article re-cycled from his FiddleOn column, ‘Unison and Harmony in Irish, Scottish and English Fiddle’
