Scottish Trad Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 Do something different this weekendThere are still spaces left for the Series No. 2 workshops on Saturday 15th November. The workshops are a great opportunity to learn something different in a small group environment. There's also a performance/session opportunity at the end of the day in the pub over the road for all tutors and participants, which should be fun...World FiddleThis week sees SC&T's own Laura Lockyer take the World Fiddle workshop - teaching some pretty amazing tunes she has picked up on her travels (including American, Shetland, Scandinavian and Canadian tunes). 40 / 35 Friend of SC&TFlatpicking GuitarPrevious SC&T tutor, John Carnie, leads this week's guitar workshop - playing traditional tunes in the flatpicking style.
