RADIO BRITFOLK
Paul has recently been involved with producing two melodeon workshop programs for Radio Britfolk - a new internet radio station set up by UK folk performers (see www.radiobritfolk.co.uk). The first is a beginners workshop entitled "Melodeons for Absolute Beginners", the second an intermediate workshop entitled "Ten Top Tips for Playing the Melodeon". These are now available on the archive section of the website, available to members of the site for a small fee. In order to pay the license fees to the likes of PRS and keep the show on the road, we need as many members as possible, so if you feel you are able to join, it would help enormously.
If you want to receive information about Paul's forthcoming workshops and gigs, and any news or gossip, please join the mailing list, as detailed on the Contact page.
