Clawhammer tunes, demonstration of up picking and old 2 and 3 finger as well as a few crazy old tunings". A Bethel native and Haywood County resident, Travis Stuart is a banjo player who has been performing old time music rooted in Western North Carolina for over twenty years. The backbone of bluegrass, old time string band music carries a legacy that is inescapable, and from his earliest days growing up, Stuart was steeped in that legacy. Brought up in a rich musical community and family, Stuart learned to play banjo from local musicians like Avery County’s Red Wilson, recipient of a 2003 North Carolina Heritage Award. Playing his great-uncle Austin Stamley’s banjo, Stuart has mastered a local old time style and shared it around the United States and Europe, touring and recording alongside his twin brother, Trevor. In 2017, he and Trevor released The Stuart Brothers, a generous collection of 23 tunes both traditional and original. We are still taking bookings for the November picking weekend at Dunfield House with Emily Spencer and Chris Testerman, see the Workshops page of our website for full details.
Emily Spencer is regarded as one of the most influential banjo players in old-time as can be seen in her mini documentary https://tinyurl.com/5ammxsub Chris Testerman is a multi award winning fiddler, tutor and luthier from the White Top Mountain Region of Virginia, this video https://tinyurl.com/284ad75t shows him on one of his winning performances.

Lucas, along with Kilby Spencer, has released two cd’s through the Field Recorders Collective of fiddle and banjo music from Alleghany County as well as a cd of him playing with Fred McBride. He has also released a cd titled Stratford at Bow which focuses on versions of fiddle and banjo tunes from his local area. Having focused his music on the recordings of older musicians he is ideally placed to teach old-time fiddle. 30 July 2023 3pm Banjo workshop with Debbie Grim Yates Debbie has played for many years with the Konnarock Critters touring both the USA and internationally. The Critters embodied a real love of old-time music and its tradition which has helped to spread the Appalachian music heritage. Debbie and her husband, Tim, have passed on that musical heritage to their two daughters, Molly and Sadie, as the four currently play in a family band. They have played at everything from local benefits to prestigious venues such as The Carter Fold and The IBMA. To book a place on the workshop drop a line to Nick Pimbert on [email protected] .

Come and have a great night out and enjoy the new experience of American Old Time Barn Dancing with live music with musicians Su & Jules and Olly (also caller). You’ll laugh, meet others and experience that old time magic that barn dances are famous for.
Olly will provide a range of relatively easy dances in a variety of formations, perhaps with a few more challenging ones once you’ve warmed up. Full instruction will be given before and during each dance, and the main aim is a relaxed, inclusive event with plenty of laughter. Feel free to dress up for the vibe! https://www.creativeinnovationcentre.co.uk/dance/old-time-square-dance-night-with-su-jules-fri-14th-july/ Wales Picking Weekend
