Last year we thought that having a space where anyone can come together to explore improvisation and other such mechanics of music making was a good way to break down barriers between audiences and performers. The Room was popular and each session was different, attracting musicians from the wider community, audience members who were keen to participate in some spontaneous music making and performers from the festival. A lot of interesting music was made and there were also some moments of spontaneous spine-tingling beauty. This year we thought we had to do the same only different. The space will be there and again everyone is invited and we thought we would set up some new parameters. To find out what these are, come and join the sessions. Bring an instrument or make use or make use of what we have in the room. There will also be space to just drop in and listen to what is happening. Raymond MacDonald will again be our ringmaster and throughout the sessions he will be joined by various Le Weekenders.
