Playing by Ear: the How & the Why

Saturday, June 18, 3 - 5 P.M.
Montague Common Hall - 34 Main St., Montague Center, MA 01351

Appropriate for all English & duet concertinas, and for anglos that can play in C/G or G/D. Appropriate for those who have a grasp of playing the instrument.

Logistics & Other Fine Print

The hall will open at 2:45 for the workshop and 6:45 for the concert. Cookie break half-way through the workshop. BYO coffee.
Class size is limited. Don’t wait too late! If you need to cancel, we offer no refunds after June 15.

Directions to the hall.
Parking: Most people park on the street. Please pull onto the shoulder as much as you can. If you’d rather not be on the street, it’s fine to park in the driveway on the south side of the hall unless it’s a sinkhole of mud, but you risk getting blocked in.
Dinner: The options in Montague Center are the riverside Lady K, and the Alvah Stone. Both are popular, especially in good weather, and share an old mill building with an equally popular used bookstore, known for its motto, "Books you don’t need in a place you can’t find," as much as for its books. Turners Falls, roughly 10 minutes by car, offers more variety.
Alternatives include but are not limited to:
The Rendezvous. Menu on website. Popular local hangout.
Black Cow Burger Bar: Hormone-free Angus beef; also turkey & veg options.
Shady Glen Diner: 7 Avenue A, Turners Falls 01376. Basic meat loaf-gravy-mashed potatoes diner by the river.
Five Eyed Fox Craft beer; café emphasizes locally-grown products.
See you soon!

English Ballads, Songs, and Music
by Keith Kendrick and Sylvia Needham

With a wide-ranging repertoire leaning towards Derbyshire dialect and maritime!
Striking a capella harmony with English/Anglo/duet concertina accompaniment!

"A stage presentation which values humour, whilst maintaining respect for the music and a wry, vernacular delivery. combine with a depth of repertoire and a vocal and instrumental skill to make [their] performances a pleasure." -- Roger Watson
