2011 Summer School - and beyond

It is with some considerable sadness that I have to announce the cancellation of the Living Tradition Summer Schools for 2011. This will also apply to Common Ground Scotland. There are currently no plans to run a full summer schools programme in 2012.

Welcome

'Living Tradition Summer Schools' is a modern style of event using the highest quality of traditional arts teaching combined with public performance to provide opportunities for participation and learning at all levels.

Summer Schools success

Cathal McConnel concert Duncan Wood and Cathal McConnell give a presentation, joined for this set of tunes by student Axel, from Hamburg, and tutor Nigel Gatherer.

Our summer schools in 2010 were a great success with a super group of students, some new and some by now old friends.

One of the highlight of the week was without doubt the legendary Cathal McConnell of Boys of the Lough, who joined us for flute whistle and song. Cathal gave a wonderful afternoon presentation and some seriously inspiring concerts, along with Duncan Wood (fiddle).
