How we have all adapted to keeping early music and musicians going as best we can, has been quite amazing at times. To celebrate this, MEMF are finishing the season as they started, with Robert Hollingworth and a MEMF zoom workshop.</p>
<p>The session will start with a short chat between Robert and MEMF chair Nancy about how, in April 2020, they started things off, how difficult it was coping with the new technology we suddenly had to use and the pitfalls that beset the first sessions as we dipped our toes into the world of zoom, mute. etc – and who can forget the arguments over chat….</p><p class="organisation" >Organiser: MEMF</p><p class="website" ><a itemprop="url" target="_blank" href="http://memf.org.uk/events/">Further Details</a></p><div style="clear:both"></div></div></div>'); ){kind=link}

This is a masterclass in the art and mystery of connection; two fiddles and two voices working in confidence and synergy to create something far greater than the sum of its parts. Nick and Becki’s refined arrangements feature intricate subtleties that build to driving rhythms, stunning harmonies and dramatic crescendos. These compositions are infused with shared stories, songs and tunes from England’s west country and beyond – and it can all start from just one simple riff. Their new album ‘Cold Light’ weaves together ancient melodies, traditional dance tunes and newly-written songs. This is the very essence of folk music; allowing the past to inspire the future.</p><p >Advance sales only: £15 (students £7.50, u12 free with ticket), from info@bemp.uk or follow links from webpage. 10% discount if booking for 3 or more Third Thursday events in one transaction. </p><p class="organisation" >Organiser: info@bemp.uk / 01884 849172</p><p class="website" ><a itemprop="url" target="_blank" href="https://blackdownsearlymusic.co.uk/concert-post/918/">Further Details on BEMP Website</a></p><div style="clear:both"></div></div></div>'); ){kind=link}
