[NSP] Dances
Hello Folks Here's an insight into the lives of dance musicians in the last century. I can remember dances into the early morning - starting at 10pm - supper at midnight and then going on till people went home in the early hours. These happened both at Whittingham and Hedgely certainly as late as 1985 that I witnessed. Mad happy days. I'm posting this because of interest in the previous one and I promise this will be the last on this list.

[NSP] Re: Ovingham Goose Fair
Without wishing to disadvantage any geese, might this be an opportunity to resolve the recent discussion on Facebook concerning the use of goose quills as drone reeds?

[NSP] Re: Concerts in France
Thanks for the redirection. I would otherwise have missed this. Do I detect two flavours here? Machine and very bad human translation? E.g. how do we explain "drowns". Wait (yet) another five years... CB > >The link via the Union Flag button doesn't work but the "translation" >follows the French.

[NSP] Ovingham Goose Fair
Could anyone planning on coming to this (Sat 18 June) a) let me know so I've an idea of numbers (we are scheduled to lead the procession and do 2 spots on the stage - what is played will depend on who turns up.) b) let me know *asap* if you would like a car pass - which allows parking quite near the playing area, useful for dumping spare stuff. We need to be there by 12.30 at the latest - the procession is earlier than it used to be, and there is no free lunch anymore. Thanks.

[NSP] Re: Rules
Yup, there's a traditional way, and other approaches have grown from it - arguably enriching it. Like with any other instrument.
