ONE-DAY workshoP: ULLAPOOL

The Info

Dates: Friday 6th October 2023

Location: The MacPhail Centre, Mill St, Ullapool, IV26 2UN

Description: Taking place immediately before the Ullapool Guitar Festival kicks off in the evening, Jule Malischke and myself will be teaming up for a one-of-a-kind one-day workshop. We’ll be using two set-pieces as the main body of this workshop - one from Jule and one from myself. They’ll lead us into fun and diverse conversations about technique, musicality and performance amongst other things.

Printed workshop material will be provided for you on the day, and there’s no need to do any preparation beforehand.

Jule and I will be leading the group together throughout the day, with an emphasis on playing ideas and sections together as a group - no one will ever be ‘put on the spot’!

We’ll be aiming to choose material that will be satisfying to dig into for a variety of different playing levels but we’d certainly say this workshop isn’t aimed at beginners. If you have at least 3 years playing experience, know a few fingerstyle pieces, and enjoy the kind of playing and writing we do, then this is the workshop for you!

Performances: To round off the day there will an ‘open mic’ - opportunity for any participants to share a tune or two with the group - followed by a short performance by Jule and myself.

Timings: 10:00 - 17:30. The workshop will run from 10:30 - 17:00. It would be lovely for participants to arrive at 10 to grab a coffee and get settled. ‘Open mic’ and performance by Jule and myself from 17:00, and we’ll aim to finish by 17:30 to allow good time for dinner before the festival kicks off!

Fee: £95 which includes printed workshop material, teas & coffees.

Availability: Limited to 10 participants.

Lunch: A table will be booked at a local Ullapool restaurant (details to be confirmed nearer the time). Participants are kindly asked to cover the cost of their own meal.
