15th December 2016 - Music and Dance combined evening
15th December was the final session of the dance classes that Mistress Katherina teaches on Thursdays. She and I had discussed the concept of live musicians coming along to practice playing for real live dancers, so we took the opportunity to try it out.

Last week there was no session due to everyone needing time to recover after St Catherine's and the Bal d'Argent. We now have a group comprising primarily members of the Guild of the Silver Rondel - well done to Sympkyn, Emrys, Katherine of Glastonbury, William de Cameron, Katherina Weyssin, and Yvonne Gwyn (and myself too, just quietly) for passing their silver semibreve test over that weekend! Very proud of our wee band - great work guys!
Last week there was no official session due to it being Labour Weekend and most of us being at camp Braythwayte til late Monday... a fair whack of music was played there unofficially however :)

Monday Night Music Session on 10th October 2016:
For a while now I have been meaning to publish what we're up to, partly for the purposes of motivating the group's progress, and also for the information of those regular members who might miss a session, as well as anyone who may want to join us in the future (either regularly or just joining in with us at events).
