SUMMARY:Breton Samhain Dance and Music festival in Scotland
DESCRIPTION:Brittany is coming once again to Scotland! \nWe\, at BreizhAlba\, are delighted to invite you for a fantastic weekend of Breton music and dance on the 1st and 2nd of November\, 2024 across our beloved cities of Edinburgh and Glasgow! \nOur friends and usual suspects from Brittany\, musicians Jean-Luc Thomas (Flute) and Gabriel Faure (Fiddle)\, are back to our delight and will accompany us throughout the weekend! Local musicians will take to the stage too. \nProgramme of the weekend: \nFriday\, November 1st 2024 – Institut Francais d’Ecosse\, Edinburgh \n\nDance workshop (included in the fest-noz ticket) in the afternoon – 6pm-7.30pm\nFest-noz with our Breton comperes as well as local musicians\, starts at 7.30pm and finishes at 10.30pm\nGalettes and crepes available from 6 to 8.30pm\n\nSaturday\, November 2nd 2024 – Garnethill Multicultural Center\, Glasgow \nMusic workshop with Jean-Luc & Gabriel – 1pm-5pm \nJean-Luc Thomas & Gabriel Faure started playing as a duet in 2020. They together blend traditional music with the accents and rhythms gleaned along their musical voyages in Brittany\, the Middle East\, Europe and South America. Both seasoned Breton fest-noz musicians\, there is no doubt they will delight our ears throughout the day! Expect a real treat (video link)! \nAbout the Breton music workshop \nThe workshop will start with some conversation around the Breton Fest-noz\, its history and characteristics. Jean-Luc & Gabriel will then introduce you to the Breton music repertoire of ‘Basse-Bretagne’\, where Gavotte & Plinn are queen and king. A good part of the workshop will be about learning tunes together and how playing those tunes for Breton dancers reflect it. Participants should have a good command of their instrument\, and either be able to learn tunes by ear or from a music sheet. Any instrumentalist is welcome. A keen interest in traditional music is of course appreciated. \nWe hope to see many of you on those 2 days! \nTickets \n·  Fest-Noz & Dance workshop (Edinburgh): 12£ for adults/ 10£ concessions\, BreizhAlba and Institut Francais d’Ecosse members / 6£ for over 12 / free for under-12. \n·  Music workshop (Glasgow): 20£ non-members/16£ BreizhAlba members and concessions.

SUMMARY:Ratae audience with 10 Shotts
DESCRIPTION:Shotts and Dykehead Caledonia Pipe Band will have a mini band performing in concert on November 16th in Syston and District conservative club. The event is being run by the RATAE Pipe Band of Leicester. \nThe Ratae Pipe Band was formed in 2022 and are based in Leicester. They are planning a fundraising concert with members of Shotts & Dykehead Caledonia Pipe Band on Saturday\, November 16\, in Syston\, Leicester – see flyer below for details. \n\n\n\nThe band are led by Pipe Major Bryon Brotherton MBE who is ex-Pipe Major of Royal Scots Dragoon Guards. Pipe Sergeant Syd Charles told Bagpipe.news: “Bryon originates from Leicester and when he left the army he moved back into the area and was approached to put a competing band together.  Our leading drummer\, Ed Latimer is also ex-army. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“The band was formed last year with the focus on competing and starting off in Grade 4B. We have different standards of players in the band\, some that have never competed\, some that are veterans at competing\, but also with a big focus on youth. We currently have five youngsters from the age of nine to 14 years old\, so we have a real good mix. \n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“As with any band we are always on the look out for new members of any age. Within our members there is a wealth of pipe band knowledge and musical experience that can be passed on correctly to help with the musical ability of the band.”
