Guitar workshop in Airfield Hoedown!

Cathal Cusack reports:

Chris Newman is a regular visiting instructor at the home of flatpicking guitar at Kaufman Kamp in Tennessee. He will be conducting a two-hour workshop on flatpick guitar on Saturday 23 June at Airfield House (Dundrum) as part of its 'Hoedown on the Ranch'. The two-hour workshop starts at 4.00 p.m. and costs €30. Chris is used to dealing with all grades of players, from those who are just starting out to those who started out a long time ago (and could do with some help).

If you play guitar and use a flat pick (plectrum), you just shouldn't miss this! I attach a sample of Chris's book Adventures with a flatpick, so the guitar players can limber up in advance...

BIB editor's note: The rest of the Airfield Hoedown programme was posted on the BIB on 29 May. Cathal had previously sent on 1 March a link to a YouTube clip of Chris Newman and Steve Kaufman playing 'Nothin' to it' as a guitar duet. A two-hour workshop with a picker of Newman's calibre seems a pretty good deal at €30!
