It's time for special workshops during Celtic Connections! This year we invite Tripple for guest tutors.
Participants learn Puirt-a-Beul and find some basic steps to the tune. Then divide to two groups: singers to learn harmonies, dancers to explore more complicated steps. Finally all get together to enjoy dancing to singing or singing to dancing. There are four workshops which all different tunes and rhythm. All levels.
Also we have a special treat, mini concert in-between workshops by Tripple.

BIO
Tripple are siblings Cit and Annie Lennox and Mum, Jill Andrews.
With their name deriving from an old Scots word meaning to tap your feet to music or the meeting of two tides, Tripple marry close harmony and percussive vocables to reimagine traditional Scottish song.
Born from a love of North-East community singing and a curiosity to explore the similarity between related voices, Tripple create emotive and dynamic arrangements of well known songs of the land and sea with harmony that is at once powerful and intricate. Their music has taken them to maritime festivals across Europe, including Brittany, The Netherlands, and Germany.
Kae Sakurai is a dance artist and founder of Kelvingrove Dancers. Originally from Tokyo, living in Glasgow, Scotland over 19 years. Kae’s new show ‘BLOOM’ is a dance and music performance and her personal story, featuring expressive percussive dance with new music inspired by tradition, and initiative video content.
