Kettle Bridge Concertinas

A Pair of Workshops

Kettle Bridge Concertinas have attended a couple of very different workshops over the last few weeks.

First up was the annual SqueezEast concertina workshop that is held in the elegant ballroom of the Stamford Arts Centre, Lincolnshire. As always, this was very well organised and a great day of concertina playing. Not only that but it was an opportunity to catch up with old friends and fellow concertina players from around the country.

Then we had something out of the ordinary — a drumming workshop! The Old School Samba Band offered to let us loose on their drums and other percussion instruments. This proved to be a great exercise in keeping time and learning about rhythms. It was a bit different to our normal sessions but we all had a great time and learnt a lot.

Sue has written reports on both these events. Click here to read what went on.

Summer Gigs

We have been booked to appear at a couple of events over the summer.

First up is an appearance at the Hammond Collection Open Day at the end of July. The collection is a small museum dedicated to microcars and is not usually open to the general public so this is a great opportunity for all you petrol heads to see some rare cars.

This is followed by an invitation back to the annual School Gambia barbecue. Click here to see what happened at last year’s event.
