Hi All, long time since I posted on the lutenet...
Over the weekend just gone, Gordon Gregory hosted the Lute Society's exhibition (which is held every other year). I stayed for the whole weekend, and it seemed to me a great success. There were more than 20 lutes (many of which were for sale) for people to try. Gordon's house has lots of rooms, giving people a chance to try instruments out in private. I understand that at least two instruments changed hands during the weekend. Lynda Sayce came on Saturday, and played a short recital of baroque and renaissance music in the sitting room. In addition there was a lot of spontaneous duetting and ensemble playing. In terms of lute outreach, several beginners came, and a number of guitarists interested in taking up the lute. Obviously, it was a great opportunity for them to try out a large range of instruments, and to hear them played.
