From time to time members discuss having a Café Saxophone meet so we have decided to try and make this happen this year.
Naturally we could just pick a pub somewhere and gather but @aldevis thought it would be more fun to have a Masterclass/Workshop style meeting (much easier to sell to non saxophonic other halves )
At the moment we are thinking of one in or around Manchester and one in London possibly at Sax.co.uk (numbers will be limited if we go there).
It will have to be a Sunday in Manchester and if at Sax.co.uk a Saturday.
The classes will cover improvisation and may have an optional 1 hour class before the main event for beginners. I am going to leave it to Aldevis to fill in the details of the class but I suspect this will depend on the level of experience of the members attending.
We will allow time at the end for members to try Aldevis' Sequoia horns and each others if they so wish and have a relaxed chat.
We could also consider finding a local pub to chill out in after the event
If you are interested please post in this thread with answers to the following:
1. Preferred City Manchester or London
2. Level of Improvising Skill on scale of 1 to 5 (1 being raw beginner)
It would be appreciated if you could indicate in the poll the maximum you would be prepared to pay for a four hour event.
The idea is to cover the costs of running the workshop and contributing some profit to the café fundraising.
It is all in the early planning stages and we need to understand what you want before we can book anything. At this stage there is no obligation to attend if you respond.
Looking forward to meeting many of you
