Hi everybody!
Another gig! Two, in fact!
The North Atlantic Fiddle Convention, which is taking place here this summer, is sponsoring a fiddle concert to promote the event, and youth involvement in it. The concert will be called Fiddle For'em and it will take place at D.F.Cook Recital Hall and will feature ourselves, the Celtic Fiddlers, and the Frontier FIddlers of Gillam, Manitoba, plus a special guest. We will play for twenty minutes and then join in the finale.
We've also been asked to take part in the Canadian National Folk Music Awards which will happen here next November.
Clothes --
Consensus seems to be that we prefer to wear black, with a colourful accessory such as a scarf or tie. Do we want pink, white and green or one colour or various jewel colours ?
The opinion from the Board is that black clothes are pretty readily available - it's not really necessary to go through the expense of having them made. Many of us have nice black clothes already - we can each buy the top we want, or have it made if we prefer. Maybe in the future, if we change our minds about black and want something different, we can get tops made then. In the meanwhile, I can talk to Abbyshot about accessories- get back to me about colours!
Recording--
We are booked for a recording session at Petro Canada Hall on May 31st, from 11:30 until 5:00. Repertoire will be I'll Hang My Harp/Genevieve's Reel, Luke Payne's Square Dance Tunes, (Emile Benoit class) Peak of the Topsail/American 8/Leo Bonnell, and our single tunes, Walt Hallett/ Francois Dance Tunes,/ Placentia Bay Double (everybody) Emile Benoit class will start at 11:30 - we'll need everybody else at 2:00.
