John Spiers happily squeezed a day at The Music Room into his schedule of touring, recording and winning prestigious folk awards! On Sunday 25th November at The Music Room in Cleckheaton we held a master class given by the renowned D/G Melodeon virtuoso John Spiers. The master class was filmed for a DVD release in early 2008. John is known to us all as half of English folk music’s mighty duo Spiers and Boden as well as adding his unique melodeon and concertina style to both Bellowhead and The Ratcatchers, with Eliza Carthy. John has taken traditional squeezebox styles, honed in his early days playing morris tunes, and blended them with his knowledge of contemporary dance music. Have you ever heard a tune played on stage but never been able to play it like that? Not sure how to develop your technique? Looking for some ideas to help improve your playing and increase your playing confidence? This masterclass DVD will be aimed at musicians already playing the D/G melodeon and John will cover the techniques he uses to create his uniquely infectious and inventive style. If you have been looking to develop your technique then this master class is guaranteed to both inspire and stimulate!
