[Ceilidhsoc] music workshop/ceilidh in ranmoor hall/guitar workshop/festival

[Sheffield University Ceilidh Society]

Hi,

sorry about the rather long email, but lots of things to do to keep warm
through the horrible weather:

firstly, tomorrow, in the place of the usual beginners' folk music workshop,
professional music teacher Cath James is teaching the workshop.  It's
aimed at people who have a basic ability to play their instument, but have
little or no experience of playing folk music, and suitable for any melody
instrument.  7.30 in Octagon meeting room 3. Tickets £1 from the union box
office (if you don't have a ticket you'll be able to just turn up as long
as it's not full).

Ceilidh time again - this time the ceilidh is at RANMOOR HALL OF RESIDENCE,
featuring a ceilidhsoc band and callers Tref and John.  Starts at 8.30pm, £2
for members before 9, £3 after or £2.50 with a flyer, £4 for non-members
or £3 to join.

Before the ceilidh there will be a FREE guitar workshop with Peter Rophone,
starting at 7.15.  Just turn up (with a guitar).

and finally, the fantastic Inter Varsity Folk Dance Festival is approaching
again!  The festival moves around different universities (2003 was
Sheffield), this year it's at UEA, Norwich.  A weekend packed with
ceilidhs, workshops, displays, concerts, and apparently a 12 hour ceilidh
marathon... (I don't think you have to go for the whole 12 hours
though...)  All the details are at http://www.ivfdf2005.org/.  There will
be some flyers at the next ceilidh.  As usual, ceilidhsoc will be taking a
coach (the journey itself can be quite something, with singing, sessions,
even a bit of dancing...)

p.s. don't forget the weekly social at the Red House pub on Solly Street,
