Fiddle & guitar duo

12pm – 1.15pm

@Astley Hall Clubroom

Calling fiddle and guitar players who want to play together! Join US-based musicians Gabrielle Macrae and Barry Southern (AKA The Horsenecks) as they share methods and tips for a general approach to playing fiddle and guitar together, incorporating both Appalachian and Bluegrass styles. A great all-rounder to familiarise with Americana styles!

Bring your fiddle or guitar and pretty soon you’ll be playing acoustic favourites together!

harmony singing

2pm – 3.15pm

@Astley Hall Clubroom

Singing is good for the soul and harmony singing even better! Join Lincoln-based singers Sue and Ishani (AKA The Rye Sisters) who will take you through learning parts for a choice Americana song. This informal session is a great introduction to singing if you’ve never tried it or a great way to spend an hour if you have! 

A guaranteed feel-good workshop – before the session is out, you’ll be group singing in perfect harmony!
