In case anyone is on the area, or would like to be. I
will be teaching an “Intro to Celtic Percussion”
workshop on Saturday May 21st at the 13th Annual World
Rhythm Festival (www.swps.org/wrf/) in Seattle
Washington.

The Annual World Rhythm Festival is the largest free
percussion festival in the world. The 12th annual
festival, held in the Spring of 2003, featured more
than 80 artists presenting more than 50 participatory
teaching workshops and 20 performances highlighting
percussive arts from around the world. Offered
completely for free to the public, the three day
festival is presented by the Seattle World Percussion
Society, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. The
Festival offers something to all age groups, all
cultures and all rhythmic traditions. All are welcome
to come and learn, grow and play as one.

My full schedule includes a 30 minute “introduction”
performance at 12noon on Saturday, followed by a 75
minute “Intro to Celtic Percussion” worshop which will
feature info on history, regional & international
playing techniques, construction styles, and Q&A for
Bodhran, Bones & Spoons (I usually include photos and
mention of the Lambeg but I haven’t got one to play,
so….

Then on Sunday I’ll present a 75 minute “Intro to
Handheld Double Concussion Plaques & Ladels – (Bones,
Spoons & Beyond)”workshop. The workshop will feature
in depth discussion of the world history, usues, and
playing styles for bones, spoons, knives, forks,
clave, etc…
