POPPY FOLK DAY - OLD SPOT - Old Time Music Workshop
Advertisement
Old Spot (Rowan Piggott & Joe Danks) burst onto the scene in 2023 with a critically acclaimed debut album and a whirlwind UK tour, quickly establishing themselves as a fresh force in old-time music. Praised for their raw energy and expressive musicianship, the duo lit up stages across UK/EU folk, bluegrass, and old-time festivals.
Joe and Rowan will be sharing the joy of old-time music, teaching appalachian tunes and some of the idiomatic playing styles that make them come to life. Learn about the history of this musical melting pot whilst picking up a tune or two along the way.
- all instruments welcome, may be a bit string specific but hopefully interesting to everyone.
- no previous old-time music experience required
- teaching by ear, sheet music available afterwards!
