Hello!
This Sunday's session is Swedish and these are tunes you'll find at many Scandi sessions around the UK.

The video will be premiered on Sunday 2nd August at 2pm UK time. It'll stay up forever after that, so don't worry if you can't come along at the time. Join us at your leisure! The tune list is below and each link goes to a lesson for that tune. Enjoy!
We met our target for the next two sessions. So the coffees are going to release the next pair. Here is the tune and lesson list for the session.

The Lockdown Halsway Bar Nyckelharpa Session - The Playford Session Part 2 (Danceable)

Hello!
It's time to prepare for our second Playford Danceable session in Halsway Manor Bar. Play-along or Dance-along - the choice is yours!

The tune list for the Playford session is as follows, we hope you enjoy our choice of dances! The dances are definitely on the Zesty side and this week we did manage to count to the correct number of times through each time! Hurrah!

If you enjoy the sessions, please consider buying a 'Session Coffee'. These go towards funding the sessions. Each session 'costs' about 50 coffees, so every 50 coffees, we'll film, edit and upload the next session.

The Lockdown Halsway Bar Nyckelharpa Session 9 - Jonny's Ceilidh/Contra Dance Tunes

Hello!
This week we have a session of tunes that Jonny has written that we play for dance. It's a session that kicks along at a really nice pace. There are two tunes that don't have blog entries, so keep an eye open for those coming up this week. The video will premier at 2pm on Sunday 19th July. You can join us at 2pm or any time after that!

To keep these sessions going please think about donating to the blog. Each session takes about about a day to put together and in these Covid-19 stricken times we are working hard to make an online living. We have one more session in the can after this one, so we've made a special Buy Me A Coffee button - once we've had a hit of 50 coffees, we'll film, edit and publish the next session!

Next week it's another danceable session of Playford tunes.

The Lockdown Halsway Bar Nyckelharpa Session - slower session part 3

Hello!
I thought that the Sunday session this week should be one that was a slower one again. So this is a session Zero part 3. It's great to be able to speed through tunes - but its also great to go back to simpler tunes and make sure that everyone can take part. So that's exactly what this week is all about, looking out for the less experienced players. These are lovely tunes to play in any case, so make sure even if you are more experienced that you play with beautiful notes. Of course - you don't have to be a nyckelharpa player to join in with these sessions, you can play absolutely any instrument you like! So join us at 2pm on Sunday 11th July if you'd like to play along live, but as always the videos stay up forever so you can join in any time you like!

If you enjoy the sessions, please consider buying a 'Session Coffee'. These go towards funding the sessions. Each session 'costs' about 50 coffees, so every 50 coffees, we'll film, edit and upload the next session.
 
So here's the list:
  1. Flickan Hon Går i Dansen
  2. Tillsammans Polska
  3. Colin's Cattle
  4. The Piper's Wedding March
  5. Polska Cups
  6. Download the dots to Session Zero part 3
See you on Sunday at 2pm!
