Morag Anne Elder – Friends of Wighton

Saturday Morning Online Mixed Instrument Class

3rd January 2021 barbaradymock Morag Anne Elder, music, Online, Scottish music, traditional music

We are all enjoying the Saturday morning Mixed Instrument Class at 11am – 12 on Zoom – it’s amazing how freeing not being heard by other folk is when you are learning a new tune!

On Saturday 6^th February we have a guest tutor, Gavin Marwick, a fiddle player and composer from Edinburgh. As a performer he has played at hundreds of festivals, concerts, theatres and dances across the UK, Europe, North America, Asia, Australia and Africa, playing with bands such as Journeyman, Iron Horse, Ceilidh Minogue and Bellevue Rendezvous. He has written music for TV, radio and theatre and was active in the ceilidh scene (before the pandemic struck). Gavin also has many years teaching experience with Falkirk Fiddle Workshop, Feis Rois, ALP Edinburgh and Newcastle University.

We’re looking forward to seeing (and hearing) what he has in store for us!

Any instrument is welcome (we have fiddle, cello, flute, mandolin and harp just now) and the class costs £5, which can be paid through https://www.paypal.me/moraganneelder1

MoragAnne is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.

Recording in the Wighton Centre

Last Monday, the Wighton Centre was turned into a recording studio by recording enginner Bob Turner, to record some tracks for the forthcoming limited edition CD produced by the Friends of WIghton as part of the fundraising for the Sir Jimmy Shand Collection.

Tracks were recorded from Mark Spalding playing a Ronald Stevenson composition on the harpsichord, the Wighton Singers, Ellie McDonald reading poetry, Simon Chadwick playing the replica Queen Mary harp, and Morag Anne Elder on the fiddle with Katie playing cello.

At least two of the tracks are the first ever recordings (the harpsichord and harp track). Other tracks are being recorded at Gardyne Studios, and also some tracks will be donated by other artists from their published CDs.

If you missed claiming the CD as a perk on our Indiegogo crowdfunding last month, you will still be able to buy your copy when the strictly limited edition is released.
