SLEGS August Meeting 2023

The August meeting of the Scottish Lute & Early Guitar Society will take place on Sunday 25th of August

We are lucky to have Jamie Akers speaking in the second part of the meeting about 19th century Eastern European guitar music for 9,10 and even 12-string Romantic guitars – he has recently made a recording of this repertoire. His talk is entitled: Lost Treasures: forgotten masterpieces for forgotten guitars. A unique chance to hear neglected music written for extended range historical guitars, on original instruments. This should be of interest to lutenist and guitarists alike!  Please bring £3 to give to our speaker as usual.
Before that we will have our normal session playing to one another – up to 3 pieces per person is ideal (1 is fine if you don’t want to play 3!) All abilities very welcome and please do send this information on to anyone you think might be interested.

Timings as follows:1pm arrival1.30pm members perform up to 3 pieces to each other3pm approx. coffee and chat. 4pm Jamie’s talk
Venue is 11/3 Brandon Street, Edinburgh, EH3 5DX
