Further to the reference to Baring-Gould can I remind everyone about the
Baring-Gould Study break, where you can have unlimited access to the
complete Baring-Gould folk song collection, work with Chris Coe on song
technique, and generally have a good old Baring-Gould and folk song centred
week. As well as the day time sessions, there are two special evening
events, Monday 24th, at Lewtrenchard Church, Martin Graebe annual
Baring-Gould song related lecture (I can't remember what we've asked him to
do this year - perhaps he'll respond to this email! Thanks Martin) On
Tuesday 25th Bill Murray will give an illustrated talk on his own song
collecting in West Devon. Tea at Lewtrenchard manor (Baring-Gould's old
home) on Thursday is another highlight!
