| This weekend, September 18th, 19th, and 20th, sees the Longford Collection taking place at venues in Longford Town, County Longford, Republic of Ireland. This is a weekend of musical activities, starting with a Friday night concert at Barney's Bar and Restaurant, 12 Main Street, Longford Town, featuring accordionist Karen Tweed doing a solo spot and also as a duo with diatonic accordionist Nick Wiseman-Ellis, together presenting a musical whizz around France and Scandinavia with a few tangos thrown in. On Saturday September 20th, 10am until 4pm, Karen Tweed and Nick Wiseman-Ellis will hold workshops, held at the Longford Arms Hotel and Spa in Longford Town. Karen will be concentrating on Irish traditional music techniques using repertoire from the Bunch Of Keys Tune Book 1, polkas, slides, and perhaps a waltz as well. Nick will be concentrating on Irish traditional music, French, and Swedish music. These workshops are not suitable for beginners. On the Saturday evening, there will be a ceili at The Temperance Hall, Longford Town, with music by The Longford Collection. Karen Tweed and Nick Wiseman Ellis continue workshops on Sunday, 10am - 3.30pm. Karen and Nick will be creating a performance big band (all instruments - including woodwind and brass welcome), which will perform in a public concert that day at 5pm at the Longford Arms, to conclude the weekend.
