We are pleased to announce the 5th Edinburgh "FluteFling", to take place in Edinburgh, over the weekend of 20th - 22nd April 2018.
Details are almost finalised, but the big change this year is that we are expanding the event to include whistles, of the "low" and "high" variety.
Information available at this stage can be found here : http://www.flutefling.co.uk/scottish-fl ... kend-2018/
If anyone has any queries, please contact me here either through this thread or by private message, and I'll do my best to answer them.
Hope to see some of you in April. A' the best, Kenny

Latest news is that we have a guest musician / speaker in the hugely talented Claire Mann. We’ll ask Claire to play some of her music on both flute and whistle, and also partake of a "Question and Answer" session on her musical history and approach and ideas about traditional music.

Re: 5th Edinburgh "FluteFling" - now with whistles
Only a few places left, folks. We have over 30 students signed up at the moment. If you've been thinking about being part of this, please do sign up in advance to avoid disappointment. We will try to accommodate everybody, but at the same time, we can't allow the classes to get to an unmanageable size.
Look forward to meeting up with some of you next weekend.
A' the best, Kenny

Re: 5th Edinburgh "FluteFling" - now with whistles
A few last minute changes have been forced upon us. People who have signed up should by now have received an email from Gordon about the change of venues for the evening sessions. "Jeannie Deans" cancelled our 3-month standing booking at 3 days notice, so we're not feeling too well disposed towards them at the moment, and will be taking our business elsewhere on both nights.
