Tonight we learned the Breton tune Polka Bagnolaise, which is played by the Breton band Skolvan. The music is on the tunes page.
We spent some more time experimenting with playing in a bouncy style, using the spring in the bow to lift it just clear of the fiddle strings in between notes. And we rounded off the night playing a whole heap of tunes we’ve learnt in the class (and smiling too!).
It was the last night of term tonight. St Brides will be taking enrolments for the summer term from the 10th April. The class starts back on Tuesday 17th April.
So who knew it was world whisky day today?
