This is a wonderful idea to start this society Robb! I wish I were in the area and would be able to attend meetings.

I’m only just learnig some early music, I think this is a real good idea, it would be good to roll it out in other places too

  Thanks, Sean. Where are you based? It would be nice to have the country of each Friend added.

    Hi Rob, I’m only in Lancashire, not so far off really. to be honest I’m only just learning some early music, I’ve picked a short Turlough O’Carolan tune “Plaxty Irwin” I don’t get to practice often enough though. The site looks to have been received really well, I think you’ll be very busy with this one too, look forward to hearing some more mp3 or live sesions of the gatherings. Sean

Fantastic idea! Lute people getting together not to compete, but to enjoy music–who ever heard of such a thing? Are kilts optional?

Best of luck, because we all know that…

That’s the way we do it here in Flanders too: an afternoon playing lute together, for each other and we all bring some home made cakes, sometimes other people come to listen, some recorder players join us, always a lot of improvisation, but this works best.

Hi Rob,
Just wanted to share that I’m doing a recital of 16th century lute music at Heriot Watt University on 24th of Feb 2012 at 12.30. Programme to include music from Scotland, England and Germany, by the likes of David Peebles, John Johnson, Philip van Wilder and Hans Neusidlers.
All best
Jamie

  Good luck with the gig. I can’t get there for lunchtime, but I’ll pass the word around.

Hello Rob,
Nice to get in touch with you and your lute society; I am a french renaissance lute player, now living in France (Normandy), after many years living in Mexico.
I wish we can meet soon somewhere, and enjoy some lute music together.
All the best for you and the Scottish Lute Society.
