Calling all musicians for the MayFesters band

Hello Mayfesters!

 We’ll learn Cornish tunes, by ear and from notation. However you learn and play music, and whether you are a beginner or a well-seasoned professional – we’ll make sure you can join in, (enjoy a little challenge perhaps?) and have fun being part of a big band.  I’ll bring lots of energy and support to the group and I’m sure we’ll have lots of fun getting ready for the day.

I’ve got a set of Cornish tunes in mind, both for the procession and the gigs – a few favourites tunes from previous years  – and some new ones. We’ll leave a little space in the programme for you to share your ideas/favourite tunes/new composition!?

I’m mainly a fiddle player – but I can play lots of other instruments, and am used to talking transposed languages/working with brass/wind players. I’m also very happy to create very simple parts for beginners – and add fancy melody lines, if you are a more fancy player!!  So whatever you play, there will be no barriers – so please join in.  ‘The more the merrier’ could not be more apt for this gig!

Please tell all your musical friends, and get them to come too. It’ll be fun.
