Description: SPARE PARTS CONCERTINA BAND

Spare Parts (Bryan Creer, Valmai Goodyear, Suzanne Higgins) play arrangements of British dance music on three concertinas and fiddle, and also sing in harmony. They are based at the Lewes Arms Folk Club in Lewes, Sussex, which meets every Saturday night and puts on nationally-known all-day workshops for musicians and singers. Bryan and Valmai help Andy Warburton to run the 'Lewes Favourites' practices for people wanting to learn tunes popular in local English sessions. Suzanne is a professional singer and music teacher.

ENGLISH TUNES PRACTICE SESSIONS with SPARE PARTS
A chance to learn some solid session tunes from the dots and by ear, playing slowly with lots of repetition, and to get used to playing with others. If you'd like the dots in advance, contact valmaigoodyear@aol.com.or check out http://www.sparepartsband.co.uk
