New band member needed. Angels of the North. North-east England.

One of our twin lead fiddles will be emigrating  to New Zeeland next
year and we will need to replace him with a fiddle or some other top
line instrument.
Apologies for any cross-posting but we would be grateful if you could
pass this through to anyone who you think might be interested in joining
us.

We have been going for 10 years now and we get a lot of repeat booking
/word of mouth engagements, so we must be doing something right.

The Angels patch is Alnwick down to Richmond. We meet weekly for
rehearsals and play around 30 paid gigs a year.

We are pretty open to any top line instrumentalist  who wants to put in
the work to join us.
Our core repertoire is Northumbrian but we have extensive Irish and
Scottish repertoires for Burns Nights, Paddy's Nights and the like, plus
a wealth of materials  from round the world that have been useful for
various bespoke ceilidhs.

We have a wealth of material and actively pursue research into old tunes
and dances.
This means we have a very large body of music.
All the Angels sight read and ability to read music would be an
essential for joining us.

You could have a look at our website if you are interested
www.angelsofthenorth.org.uk <http://www.angelsofthenorth.org.uk/>


Anyone interested please contact me off list. noelbats@...

Noel

Regrettably, Stomp will be unable to appear at Poynton on Saturday as Kevin
Adams is unwell.  They were already shorthanded following Andrew King's stroke
earlier this year, and with Kevin out of action too it was clearly impossible
for them. We wish him (and Andrew too) a speedy recovery.

We have been very fortunate that the fabulous Committee Band have kindly stepped
in at very short notice.  The caller will be Pete Rees, as previously
advertised.

We are looking forward to a fantastic evening so please give it your support.

Regards

Howard Jones

Well exactly - I am hoping to do one from notation and then get the
pupils to write their own.  It's what we always try to do in the Redcar
project which we've done every year since 1994 and then we nick the best
ones and use them.

   There is a clogging element of the project being taught by Alex Fisher
so she'll cover the stepping and I don't want to step on her toes
literally or metaphorically!

But what is a Lancashire dance?
1.    One with a Lancs reference in the title like Lancashire Reel (a change
partner, circle dance which I haven't got the instructions for) or Salute To
Preston -written by a resident of Cheshire (I don't think I'd teach that to
beginners, adult or children).
2.    Or one written by a Lancastrian.
3.    Or one collected there. e.g. the local Morris or Garland dance failing any
social dance

If 1.  or 2. you could write your own or get the children to.
