DANCE MUSIC of GASCONY & SOUTH-WEST FRANCE WORKSHOP for any instrument

Emmanuel is one of the best melodeon players in France, a singer and an expert in French regional dance music. He also plays a specially-designed 'Franglo' concertina. He has taught at Hands-On Music and regularly leads melodeon-building weeks in England. Didier is a superb fiddler and also dazzles on mandolin, boha (Gascon bagpipes) and guitar. They are favourites at the National Centre for Folk Arts at Halsway Manor. Both are wonderful singers.
Using traditional dance material from Gascony collected in the 1970s and 1980s, the workshop will be based on the three legendary dances of South-West France: the Rondeau (couple & chain) the Béarn Chain Branle and the Captieux Congo. Emmanuel demonstrates harmonies with melodeon and Didier demonstrates melody and style with other instruments.
Some music will be sent out in advance.
