CELTIC MUSIC WORKSHOP

With Andy Hillhouse

Saturday, October 14, 2000
1:00 to 4:00 p.m.
West Point Gray United Church
4595 West Eighth Avenue, Vancouver, BC

Are you fascinated by the music of Riverdance? Does a reel or a jig get your pulse racing? Then come and revel in the energy of this exuberant music! Voice, fiddle, flute, penny whistle, mandolin, guitar, piano, accordion, uilleann pipes—anything goes! Andy will present an overview of the Celtic style; then the singers and instrumentalists will rehearse separately. After the break everyone will make music together, with Amy Stephen on piano-accordion.

Andy led the acclaimed gospel music workshop last spring. He plays the guitar, mandolin, and bouzouki, and sings lead with Mad Pudding, a Celtic band with four CDs and international gigs to its credit. He has performed at the Shetland Festival, the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Denmark's Skagen Festival, Cape Breton's Celtic Colours Festival, the Philadelphia Festival, and the Vancouver International Folk Festival. This workshop is a must!
