Thanks to everyone who came to the Flute Fling workshop — it was good to see you and I hope you got plenty from it. Thanks to Catriona Patience for her help and support and to Nick for coming all the way from the Isle of Arran for the afternoon and evening music session.

The music for the workshop (with corrections) can be found here (PDF) on the workshops page of The Flow.

This was the first such Flute Fling event and it won’t be the last. My next big workshop will be on Sunday 3rd June at The Border Gaitherin in Coldstream.

Ceilidh Culture has only just begun, so be sure to check out other events. This week I’ll be at the Scots Music Group fund-raising gig on Friday 30th and then with Fun Fluters at Portobello Community Centre with Fun Fiddle and Linten Adie choir on Saturday 31st. I’ll be relaxing later on playing in The Captain’s Bar with Cauldstane Slap.

Flute Fling post-workshop events

After the Flute Fling workshop on Saturday, there are a couple of open traditional music sessions taking place in the Portobello area that people are welcome to join.

Firstly, you might like to head along the seafront to The Dalraida Bar to catch the end of Sean Paul Newman’s afternoon session, which runs until 6pm. Then there is enough time to get something to eat before returning for a session at 9pm for a St Patrick’s Day session organised by local artist/ flute player/ whistler and singer Mike Kinnane.

As if that wasn’t enough, I will be playing with the band for Absolutely Legless, who will be performing spectacular Irish dancing on Sunday afternoon.

All of these events will be free.
