Making traditional music

Trad Swaps

Come to a traditional song swap, where we listen to each other sing songs, present solo songs, and join in on choruses and refrains. The emphasis is on singing from memory and learning by ear. The music is traditional, or new songs written in a traditional style. People are encouraged to help each other grow as singers and musicians by listening to and enjoying each other's music in a relaxed social setting.

July

There are no trad swaps currently scheduled for July, but check back for updates periodically.

August

Once again we have a very generous offer from John Sheehan to host a weekend get-a-way in New Hampshire (Bartlett/No. Conway), the weekend of Aug 15 to 17.

It's about 3 hours from Boston, carpooling is possible. There is room for 10 - 14 people.

John offers to cook and we'll share the expenses for his food purchases. If anybody has particular dietary needs, let us know.
Bring your swimming suit and hiking boots for available non-singing-time activities.

Anyone who is interested, let Richard Taylor know at RTaylor AT doe.mass DOT edu. Arriving on Friday or anytime on Saturday is up to you.

Also indicate if you are interested in giving or receiving a ride there.
