Full Version: Leeds Concert - 31 May 08
Me too

The first Players for Pleasure event, however, is not in Yorkshire but in Somerset - I've arranged for a group of us to play at a stately home there. We can play all day if we want, and it will be a good opportunity for advanced players to perform longer pieces. Beginners are also welcome, and teachers are welcome to offer the performing opportunity to their students. It will take place in the autumn of this year, on a date to suit the majority. I'm not going to promote it much on this forum as it's not a forum event, but if anyone would like more details, please feel free to contact me
Sounds great skylark! Sorry I wasn't able to make Leeds in the end....
Somerset is a good 2 hours closer and I'd be really interested in coming along!

It would be great to meet you kerioboe, I hope you'll be able to come
Glad you all had a great time on 31st. Matthew has longer hair, Skyers looks totally different from last year (has your hair changed a lot too???) and you all looked like you were playing well and having a lovely time.
January concert? Perhaps. Might even have my grade 1 by then....
Met a new violinist friend last night. She's post grade 7, (doesn't want the fuss of the grade 8 exam though) and next barn dance party we're at (October), we're gonna give the dancers live music! She can do the jigs OK and I can devise some simple alto/bass part to join in.

I don't intend it to be so long - it just... grows...!
It would be good to see you again sometime, Elisabeth.

I can see the headlines now:
Young pianist/violinist attacked with hairdressing scissors by crazed violist!
Well Skyers, I'd better get both practising and stitching if I'm to come in January (I will if I can - if we're not elsewhere that w/e, but the event I'm 'wary' of is normally about 3 weeks before, so should be OK) and you want me to play and display!!
I'm having an e-bay fest at the mo buying the most glorious threads .... I'd have to see if I could borrow back a few gifts as well......

It looks like the string section is making a strong recovery
There were some members of the LLSSO at the concert this time, and if they come again, and maybe more, then hopefully there'll be a large string ensemble in January! QUOTE(elisabeth_rb @ Jun 9 2008, 10:13 AM)

Me too! I think we'll both be able to come to the January 3rd one.
Thanks for posting the piccies Skylark and St George. I think I need to go on a diet, though!

Have counted up all items on hand and those I can 'borrow back' for the day so far and it's nearly 40, so should be a decent display!!
