Recorder Group

Around twenty five players meet to play recorders together, from the small sopranino through descant, treble and tenor to three sizes of bass. The music ranges from Tudor times through to modern popular tunes, taking in dance tunes, folk songs and carols, and much of it is arranged in house to suit differing musical interests and abilities. The group welcomes invitations to play at events, has played at garden parties, village concerts and twice at the Carols for Everyone concert in Southwell Minster, meets three other local u3a groups each year for a joint playing day, and gives its own annual concert, usually in October. Players need reasonably nimble hands and the ability to read music at least in the treble clef. The group meets at Edingley Old Schoolroom on the first and third Wednesdays in the month, and the fifth where there is one, from 2.30pm until 4.30pm.
