We are very pleased to announce the second Aberdeen "FluteFling" - now incorporating whistles, as well.
A weekend of sessions and classes will take place in Aberdeen over the weekend of Fri.16th - Sun.18th November 2018.
Some details have still to be finalised, but at the moment the programme will be as follows :
Fri.16th - an evening informal "welcome" session.
Sat. 17th - 9.30 - 1630 : 2 flute classes and 1 whistle class will rotate between our 3 tutors who this year are :
Gordon Turnbull [ "simple-system" flute and whistle ]
Sharon Creasey [ "Boehm-system" flute and whistle ]
- and we are particularly pleased to be having as our guest tutor and speaker, Dougie Pincock, ex-"Battlefield Band" member for 7 years and Director of the "School Of Excellence in Traditional Music" in Plockton on the west coast of Scotland, since its' inauguration in 2000.
The afternoon will end with a "Question & Answer" session with Dougie and the other tutors.
A communal meal will be arranged in a local restaurant for those who wish to participate.
An evening session which may include a few "performance" spots from the tutors.
Sunday - lunchtime / afternoon "Farewell" session.
Full cost = "£50 Concessions = "£40 A "link" to pre-book will be created and posted here soon.
Session venues are still under negotiation. I will post further details as they come in to play.

Hope to meet some of you here in November, regards, Kenny

I should perhaps point out that whistle class numbers will be limited to a maximum of 15, and I already know of 7 local musicians who are intending to come. If you want to come to this weekend, please book early to avoid disappointment.
This new link from Gordon Turnbull is perhaps better : http://www.flutefling.co.uk/scottish-fl ... kend-2018/
