Clarsach & Song

Clarsach and song with Maggie MacInnes and Wendy Stewart

We plan to share our skills in both instrumental playing and Scots and Gaelic singing (or accompaniment) with the traditional harp and will provide sessions at a basic and a more advanced level. Previous knowledge of Scots or Gaelic are not necessary as phonetic pronunciation and some background info will work wonders.

We will bring material and ideas, will teach by ear (a wee recording device would be an asset!) and provide music, words and inspiration to take away.

Moments of joy, frustration, elation and hilarity are guaranteed.......
