About this event
- Event lasts 6 hours
Calum MacCrimmon and Breabach's Global Music Match collaboration during the Covid lockdown was as entertaining as it was musically delightful and has had thousands of views on social media.
Calum's abilty to make canntaireachd and piobaireachd accessible and fun is unrivalled and following the success of the first event we asked him to run on this area of music in March we are returning for part deux.
This is open to everyone - you don't need to have come to the March event to attend the September one - we will send you some materials to look over prior to coming along and there will be a recap of the March event when we meet for the second time. We may also attempt some recording of what we learn and produce on the day.
All musicians are welcome and all levels of playing.
There will be singing - you don't have to - but it'll help.
Lunch and refreshments will be provided in the cosy hall in Dalguise with its open fire and pink lights.
To register interest there is a non refundable deposit payment of £20 and we'll ask for the balance of £40 to be paid in August. (£40 concessions for under 25s).
20 places available.
Frequently asked questions
Not at all - with this event we are aiming to start from the bottom up to learn about this ancient method of teaching, learning and memorising music.
Nope
Yes - as long as you can play the same notes as the pipe scale you'll be very welcome
No you don't. There will be some singing in order to absorb the sounds of Canntaireachd but you don't have to sing them - it's more important to be able to reproduce those sounds on your instrument.
No it doesn't. You're exactly who this event is intended for.
Most of our Far North community play Scottish Smallpipes in the key of A so we would suggest bringing those or a practice chanter with a pitch as close to A as you can manage. If you don't have smallpipes we may be able to organise a loan for the day for you.
