Bloggity Blog
Welcome to the blog! The Page Formerly Known as ‘News’ will be getting a lot more exciting – as well as updates on what’s happening at Core we’re going to be bringing you a mix of funny stories, photos and videos, and interesting research on all things musical.
We love being part of Core, and we want you to feel part of it too, so we’re going to have regular interviews with the team, and tell you what we all get up to with “Day in the Life” segments… though for most of the staff it’ll consist of “Tea, play guitar, coffee, more tea, more guitar!”
Aaaaaaand we’ll have news and reviews of local gigs and bands, so if you’ve seen any bands recently and want to comment, or there’s any gigs you’re looking forward to, let us know at evelyn@coremusic.co.uk. So here’s to the Core Music Blog – we hope you enjoy it!
Mandolin Taster Sessions
Steve Gray has a personal mission to increase the popularity of the mandolin in Tynedale. 10 new mandolin
players joined his taster course in 2011 and many of them have continued, with others, to take part in two follow-on
groups at Core Music. Steve is now planning another mandolin taster course at Core Music. This will probably start in March, running for 6 sessions, a fortnight apart, and will cost £30. The course is aimed at beginners to the mandolin and does not require any previous knowledge. Each session you will learn a tune from scratch from Steve’s celtic folk favourites. You can hear some examples of the tunes on http://soundcloud.com/mandolinking . To sign up for the taster course, please leave your details with Core Music (01434 601993), or e-mail Steve direct: steve@mandolinking.org.uk
