NOTEWORTHY

39th Old Boys Flute Day

Hello,

I was wondering if it would be possible to advertise an event our band is organising in April on the NIBA website?

I think it's something which would be of interest to flute enthusiasts visiting the site.

"39th Old Boys' invite you to a Flute Day on Saturday 21st April 2012, 10am - 4pm, in Belmont Tower, Belmont Road, Belfast. Workshops on tone, technique and general musicianship skills will be led by Jonathan Johnston. All ages and abilities welcome. Admission: £20 (concessions: £10). Proceeds to The Northern Ireland Hospice in memory of our friend Tom Beggs. Contact Joan on 90705177 or email jdavidson515@btinternet.com for details."

Many thanks,

Joan Davidson (band secretary)
