Ceilidh Music Workshop
8:00 - 9:00 pm
Every Wednesday
during term time
|
Conrad our music officer or guest teachers will be running regular workshops in the Red Deer Pub before the session helping people learn some of the tunes that are played at Ceildihs and
at the sessions. It is intended for people who are new to folk music or not confident
enough to play in sessions yet. Basic knowledge of your instrument is helpful, but no experience of folk music
is required! There are also some tune books available for purchase for you to take away and practice in your own time (while stocks last).
|
|
 |
| |
Session
9:00pm onwards
Every Wednesday
|
The regular Ceilidhsoc session is now held at the Red Deer Pub (on Pitt Lane, just off Mappin Street)
every Wednesday. Musicians and non-musicians are all welcome.
The session is a great opportunity for those new and old members of the society to get together to chat, play music and swap tunes.

IVFDF 2007
Edinburgh
2nd -4th March 2007
|
IVFDF is the national
Inter-Varsity Folk Dance Festival. Which means that every student in the
country who is interested in some form of folk dance gets together in one
place and has a *cracking* time. And not just ceilidhs this year there are
workshops on (amongst many more) Irish, Scottish, Greek, Polish and French
dancing and Molly, Border, North-west, Playford, Long-sword and Rapper.
And of course many music sessions lasting way into the night.
This year IVFDF 2007 in Edinburgh.
2nd - 4th March 2007 (leaving Bar One about 13:00-13:30 is the plan).
In practice this means everyone in Sheffield gets on a coach 'has a ball' playing tunes/singing/pissing around until we get to Edinburgh where we are invariably some of the most lively/crazy people playing and dancing late late into the night, eating, drinking and making merry until we get
back.
Whats great is that it being a student festival it's pretty cheap and CeilidhSoc being wonderful we will heavily subsidise transport. The prices are to be:
IVFDF Tickets: Non-students £24, Students £15
Coach tickets: Student/Unwaged £8, Waged £14 (half price tickets for one
direction only)
Of course you may order your tickets through us and make your way some other way... but don't cos the coach is one of the best bits.
So basically place your orders already email to: james@ceilidhsoc.org with
enquiries and orders please specify which price range and which coach
tickets you want. |
