Ali and Stewart celebrated lockdown relaxation and sunny weather in true NEFS style yesterday - outdoor fiddle duets!
We're getting ready for another of our Zoom social events this Wednesday. Here's a photo of the social we held to celebrate our 10th block of classes back in July 2019. Doesn't it feel like a lifetime ago now?!
Melissa’s been practising ahead of our social next week...

Hard to believe we've reached our last practice call of the term. It only feels like week 1! The question is, how many 'gobstopper coffees' and 'caterpillar teas' do you think will make an appearance tonight...? #ifyouknowyouknow
We have stepped into the world of Instagram! Come and join us for hints of new tunes, pictures of our lovely local scenery and if you're lucky, a video or two of Stewart playing his favourite scalic exercises...
