Steve Tyler Workshops at Medieval Music in the Dales

This year, MMitD includes two workshops with Steve Tyler - one for beginners (on Sunday 10 September) and one for intermediate/advanced players (Friday 8th September). Workshops are 90 minutes long - a great chance to learn from a master of the instrument. Steve will also be playing alongside Katy Marchant on the festival open stages, and for the Bal on Sunday night. 

Bookings open now at www.medievalmusicinthedales.co.uk/booking. Once your booking is safely received you'll then get a registration form so you can state your workshop choices. Early booking advised!

2-4 SEPTEMBER: Medieval Music in the Dales | WORKSHOPS

Medieval Music in the Dales Featured Performers of the Day: Steve Tyler and Katy Marchant
Both Steve and Katy have a long pedigree with medieval music making. Steve is a founder member of Misericordia and Katy founded Daughters of Elvin some twenty years ago and are still active in both groups. They now also play in Woodwose and as a duo, combining medieval music with various folk traditions and also original composition. 

Steve plays hurdy gurdy, harp and cittern and Katy bagpipes, shawm and recorder. Here is a taste of their sound with 'Purgatory/Paradise' from Woodwose's latest album: https://soundcloud.com/woodwosemusic/8-purgatory-paradise

Worth noting too that Steve is also leading a hurdy-gurdy workshop at Medieval Music in the Dales. Places still available but it's filling up fast... Bookings at www.crowdfunder.co.uk/medieval-music-in-the-dales
