d'Accord! Unplugged

Tunes, Tunes, Tunes - find them on the d'Accord! Music Page of this blog.

d'Accord! Unplugged!
An informal acoustic musical get-together - with dancing
Longdown Village Hall
Sunday 14th April - 14:00 - 19:00
Bring and share high tea at 5pm

Get out your instruments, dust off those dancing shoes - d'Accord! is going acoustic for this big session of French and Breton dance music, dancing and possibly song. A kind of bring and share music event.

Led by d'Accord!  & Poisson Rouge members, this session is open to everyone who wants to bring an instrument along.  If you have a favourite tune or dance you would like to go through or share, send us the dots or an audio file at this email address and we will distribute them via the website.  We can share them via email if you want, so long as you let us know.

We've got a couple of tunes and dances up our sleeves to get the ball rolling (including Tour, Avant Deux de Mezieres, 2xbourree) - keep looking at the frenchdanceexeter.com and look at the music tab for details. We'll be going through the dances as well.

We need to cover costs, so a small charge will be made at the door - £5 should cover it.

RSVP and get back to us with ideas of tunes and dances as soon as you can - it'll give us a chance to get our heads round the dots.
