We
had at least 20 musicians and singers turn up during our Easter Sapling
Sessions at the National. It was a great weekend and we had a
wonderful group of young people, mostly new to Saplings, to learn some
of our Australian Traditional songs and tunes. On the Monday, those who
were still at the festival, performed 8 tunes and 3 songs .... a
sterling performance, enjoyed by all. Well done!
Thank
you to all parents who encourage their children with their music and
thank you to the tutors who have a love of our Australian tradition and
are willing to pass it on to the young. Our tutors at the National were: Samantha O'Brien on flute, Tony Romeo on percussion, Steve Lockwood on
banjo, Vanessa Lockwood and Dave Johnson on fiddle, Chris Poleson on
uke, guitar and mouthorgan, and Beck Richmond and myself (Helen Romeo) on
English concertina with our BMC Secretary, Sandra Nixon taking photos
and talking to parents!
