Wow - that's an incredible lineup! Yurdal Tokcan and Necati Çelik... Göksel, Mehmet... all really heavy-hitters!

Too bad I won't be in the region until September (sigh)...

Hi everyone,

I just received an email from Ross Daly asking that I remind you again of the wonderful music seminars coming up this summer in Houdetsi, Crete (near Irakleio).

Here is his message:

Hello
My name is Ross Daly and I'm contacting you from Crete. I just wanted to inform you that at our musical workshop Labyrinth here on Crete we will be holding two oud seminars this summer, one with Necati Celik and one with Yurdal Tokcan. If any of your subscribers are interested in more information they should click onto http://www.labyrinthmusic.gr . Our seminars last for one week each and the students work with the teacher for about 7 hours a day (actually they usually work many more hours) . We are situated in a small village on Crete which is an ideal setting for doing serious work without distractions.
Best wishes
Ross Daly
