Mel and Ann Dorries help out Anna Murphy, traveling to Chicago to fix her gurdy


while on the road in North America, Anna Murphy found herself with a broken gurdy...



on September 12 –



Sam Riffle shared Anna Murphy's photo to the group: Hurdy Gurdy Player –
"Hurdy gurdy-ers! Can anyone in Chicago help fix Anna Murphy's busted stage gurdy?"
Anna had posted: "Today I'll be playing with my fully acoustic Largo by Drehleierwerkstatt. One of the first metal shows with this one, so I'm quite excited. Unfortunately my live hurdy broke yesterday"

i shared this to #HGWeekly on Facebook, and sent a message out to Mel Dorries, and also to Tom Lozano (as they were at EMIM’s 4th Indiana Hurdy-Gurdy Workshop... and i hoped that at least one of them would see it!); and, there was some action on Sam's post in the HG Player group (suggestion from Scott Gayman, and especially Gary Plazyk who emailed them)...  


and on September 14 –




--- this is pretty cool ---
Anna Murphy posts: "Today is a good day! Mel and Ann Dorries from www.hurdygurdycrafters.com drove all the way to Chicago to fix my hurdy-gurdy! I am so grateful to those nice people and everybody else for the help & suggestions."
...its great that it worked out!!

Joryj Kłoc [Joryj Kloc / Йорий Клоц] -- львівська ватага, яка зуміла наші давні гуди́ла зазвучати по-сучасному!
Співознавці вже встигли стилістику Клоців окреслити як art & heavy acoustic rock.

Назва Joryj Kłoc походить з таємної говірки (нині б сказали «на фєні») закритих братств незрячих лірників та кобзарів:
— слово JORYJ [йорий] − означало: поважний, шанований; а також: шалений, навіжений, бунтарський, несамoвитий, відчайдушний, шибай-головий, запеклий;
— а KŁOC (зустрічається вимова як [клоц], так і [клЬоц]) − шмат, кавалок, кусень. Або: чоловік, старець, мудрець, знавець, велет.

Тож сучасною мовою зворот Joryj Kłoc можна розтлумачити як «поважний, шанований чоловік», або ж: «Запеклі Перці» чи «Велике Цабе».

Втім, що те, що інше − гуртові однаково пасує ;о))

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - POL - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Joryj Kłoc [tutaj: Ł jest wymawiane jako «Ł aktorskie»] to zespół ze Lwowa (Ukraina Zachodnia), dzięki któremu starodawne instrumenty ukraińskie zabrzmiały w sposób nowoczesny.

Krytycy już określają styl jako "art & heavy akustyczny rock".

Nazwa zespołu pochodzi od tajnej gwary (argot) zamkniętych wspólnot niewidomych muzyków, grających na lirach korbowych i na kobzie. JORYJ − oznacza "szacowny", "honorowy" i KŁOC − "kawałek", "przystojniak", "fragment" albo "stary", "starszy": niestety, szczegółowe tłumaczenie słowa jest dziś nieznane.

We współczesnym języku połączenie słów "Joryj Kłoc" można tłumaczyć jako "Poważny, Honorowy Człowiek", "Solidny Pan", "Świetna, Znakomita Osoba" albo po prostu − "V.I.P".

Jednakże wszystkie te tłumaczenia pasują do tej cudownej czwórki ;o))

Joryj Kłoc [yoryy klotz] -- the band from Lviv (West Ukraine) that managed Ukrainian ancient instruments to resound in a modern way.

Critics have already defined the Joryj Kłoc style as "art & heavy acoustic rock".

The name of group comes from the secret slang (argot) of closed fraternities of blind hurdy-gurdy and kobza players: "joryj" [yoryy] -- does mean "respectable", "honourable", and "kłoc" (there are pronunciation as [klotz] so [klyotz]) -- whether "piece", "hunk", "chunk", or "old man", "elder": unfortunately, the exact interpretation of the word is lost for today...

So in modern language the word-combination "Joryj Kłoc" can be interpret as "respectable, honorable man" or "cool peppers", "big nob" or simply -- "V.I.P".

However all of them are suitable for this fab four ;o))

16 AUGUST; Eindohven, NL: Draailierworkshop Dominique Forges @ Parkfest



(english below)*
in het weekend van 16 augustus is  Dominique Forges in Eindhoven voor een concert met BandaBéro op het Parkfest festival. Deze unieke kans heeft de Stichting aangegrepen om samen met dit festival een interessante workshop voor (ver)gevorderde draailierspelers met Forges te organiseren. Deelnemers aan deze workshop hebben ook toegang tot de festivaldag waar hij speelt.
In verband met de soundcheck van BandaBéro voor hun concert die avond, zal de workshop tot 15:00 duren. We vragen begrip voor dit vroege einde, maar daarom beginnen we ook op tijd. Dit is gedeeltelijk afhankelijk van de logistiek van het festival.
Dominique Forges behoeft weinig introductie. Met recht kunnen we stellen dat hij tot de internationale top van draailierspelers behoort en heeft hij zijn stempel op de Franse volksmuziek gezet. Zo schreef hij de sessiekraker 'La Sansonette'. Hij is naast een zeer begaafde muzikant, ook een voortreffelijke docent en draailier didacticus, waar gevorderde draailierspelers zeker iets van kunnen leren.

Muzikale compositie en de leiding van groepen '
La Compagnie Berot' en l’Ensemble Musique Traditionnelle de Nevers(AMTCN). Daarnaast is hij hoofd van de traditionele muziek afdeling binnen het Conservatorium van Nevers (Fr)... (meer)

* (google translate): on the weekend of August 16 Dominique Forges in Eindhoven for a concert with BandaBéro on the Park Fest festival. This unique opportunity is seized to the Foundation together with the festival organizing an interesting workshop for (far) advanced hurdy gurdy players Forges. Workshop participants also have access to the festival where he plays.
In connection with the soundcheck of BandaBéro for their concert that night, the workshop will last until 15:00. We ask for understanding this early end, but that's why we start on time. This is partly dependent on the logistics of the festival.

Dominique Forges needs little introduction. By law, we can say that he belongs to the international top of hurdy-gurdy player and he has put his stamp on the French folk music. He wrote the session cracker 'La Sansonette. He is not only a very talented musician, also an excellent teacher and didactic hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy where advanced players can certainly learn something.

Musical composition and leadership of groups 'La Compagnie BEROT' and l'Ensemble Musique Traditionnelle de Nevers (AMTCN). He is head of the traditional music department at the Conservatory of Nevers (Fr) ... (more)
