Our residential is a weekend for professional musicians who get the opportunity to work with workshop leaders from other musical fields. This year our workshop leaders were: Errollyn Wallen (composer), Paul Rogers (improviser) and Julien Cartonnet (French bagpiper).&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Paul Rogers got us started on Thursday afternoon with a group improvising session. The results were really impressive! After this everything got into swing with 1-1s, writing music and discussion on musical topics. Each workshop leader presents 2 group (plenary) sessions and a 1-1 session with each of the participants.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Distil is a unique event where musicians get to take time out of their busy schedules and are encouraged to learn new skills about composition, improvising and other musical cultures. There&#8217;s plenty of time for sessions as well. In the evenings the musicians all get together for a session often with the workshop leaders experiencing their first foray in Scottish traditional music!&nbsp;<br \/>\nWe are already looking forward to our 2017 event! Thanks to Creative Scotland for their continued support in making this event happen.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/projects.handsupfortrad.scot\/distil\/files\/2016\/10\/img_0179.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/projects.handsupfortrad.scot\/distil\/files\/2016\/10\/img_0179.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1839\" srcset=\"https:\/\/projects.handsupfortrad.scot\/distil\/files\/2016\/10\/img_0179.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/projects.handsupfortrad.scot\/distil\/files\/2016\/10\/img_0179-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/projects.handsupfortrad.scot\/distil\/files\/2016\/10\/img_0179-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/projects.handsupfortrad.scot\/distil\/files\/2016\/10\/img_0179-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thirteen of us converged on New Lanark last Thursday to take part in Hands Up for Trad&#8217;s annual Distil Residential weekend.
