Newsletter - it is proposed to have the Newsletter here, plus archived articles from previous newsletters. In the meantime, it is our NEWS page.
A new CD from Gaita is now available. It has 20 dance tunes focusing on the 15th century and includes Italian Balli and Bassadanza, Burgundian Basse danse, and melodies from the Gresley manuscript (the remaining five not covered in our previous CD 'Eshewynge of Ydlenesse).
The CD also has two accompanying booklets. One contains dance choreographies and music as it appears in the sources for all the dances on the CD. The second has musical arrangements of all the dances based on the recordings on the CD.
For more information about all three publications see: www.gaita.co.uk/CD_Whatsoever.html

Dear FoMRHI member
You will be pleased to hear that after 6 years of silence, the Fellowship of Makers and Researchers of Historical Instruments, and its Quarterly publication, are being revived. We already have enough material for at least one, maybe two issues of the Quarterly. The first should appear in July.
We are sure you will have had many interesting ideas, discoveries and thoughts about historical instruments in the interim, so please put them down on paper, and send them in for inclusion in forthcoming issues of FoMRHI Quarterly!
You will remember that you must send in contributions – Communications or ‘Comms’ as they are called -EXACTLY as you wish them to appear - in 12 point type, on A4 paper with a 25mm / 1 inch border all round, or to put it another way, if you are using non-European paper sizes, then the text area must be 160 x 246 mm (or at least no wider or longer than this).
You can send contributions EITHER on paper, OR as a Word-compatible or PDF attachment.
NOTE OUR NEW ADDRESS:
FoMRHI
c/o Chris Goodwin
Southside Cottage
Brook Hill
Albury
Guildford GU5 9DJ
United Kingdom
and the email address for contributions sent as attachments is Lutesoc@aol.com
Please note the following:
1. Please tell everyone you know who might be interested that FoMRHI is being revived, and encourage them to send in contributions to the quarterly.
2. As we have unspent subscription monies in the bank, existing members will be credited with a year's subscription, for 2008.
3. Non-members will be given a year's free subscription if they send in a Communication for the Quarterly.
4. If you have changed address since 2000, please let us know; if you do not receive a paper version of this call for papers in the next two weeks that means we probably don't have your correct current postal address.
5. If you ever sent in a paper [in the last 6 years] for the Quarterly, and it never appeared, please re-send it now, to the new address.
6. There are plans to scan back issues of the Quarterly and make them downloadable from a website, to be set up; in the meantime you can obtain back issues for the princely sum of £3 per issue, including postage; send a cheque payable to FoMRHI, at the above address, or write with your credit card details.
7. If your interests have changed, and you don’t now want to be a member of FoMRHI, please let us know, to save our postage costs.
I look forward to hearing from you.
best wishes
Chris Goodwin
