Wren Fiddle Day 2016
This year the Wren Fiddle Day will have a focus on music from the North of England as they welcome visiting tutor Tom McConville, an award-winning fiddle player and workshop leader from Newcastle.
He has recorded with and appeared alongside Stephane Grappelli, Barbara Dickson, Lindisfarne, Richard Thompson and many others on well over a hundred albums - and continues to be in huge demand.
Wren’s own fiddle expert Becki Driscoll will provide tuition and guidance for beginners alongside the main group in the morning and fiddles will be available to borrow for anyone who wants to give the instrument a try.
Becki works regularly with her duo Nick Wyke and Becki Driscoll and is also currently part of the Jim Causley Trio as well as leading Wren’s newest instrumental group The Fiddle Orchestra of Devon.
