A new traditional music session dubbed 'Greenshoots' is starting in the Deemster's Bar at Green's Kitchen & Tearoom in St Johns next week. With the first session on the 4th February, it will take place on Thursday evenings every week.
The 'Greenshoots' part of the evening will start at 7.30pm and this will be an informal opportunity for adult improvers to learn and work on some Manx tunes at a steady pace on their instruments. With the support of Culture Vannin, the first 6 weeks will be led by Dr Cinzia Yates who is a well known whistle player, singer and Manx dancer. Then from 8.30pm, there will be a traditional music session where all are welcome to come along to share tunes, sing or just listen.
For more info, contact Dr Chloe Woolley, Manx Music Development Officer for Culture Vannin by emailing manxmusic@culturevannin.im.
