STEP

The following is an announcement regarding a visiting artist for this Saturday's group class, sent on behalf of Christina. :) Sounds like a very exciting opportunity!

Dave Panting, one of Newfoundland's foremost traditional musicians, will be visiting the STEP fiddlers class on Saturday at 12:15. Dave was a foundling member of the Newfoundland band Figgy Duff, and led the band Rawlins Cross for many years. Dave is the composer of two tunes, (Memory Waltz and The Gypsy) which the Emile Benoit class will be playing in the Festival. If you would like to come to the 12:15 class to watch and listen, come along. Anyone who plays fiddle who is not in STEP fiddlers but would like to join in the fun this Saturday, bring your fiddle!

Dave will be available from 10:30 to 12:15 to teach guitar or mandolin to any interested person for $15.00 per half hour. If you are interested, email Christina at csmith@nfld.com

Enjoy this special treat fiddlers and traditional music lovers, I'm sure you'll find it wonderful.
