Matt plays Border pipes, fiddle & guitar. Many of his brilliant & beautiful arrangements are published as the ‘Airs for Pairs’ series. A fine performer & composer, he's researched & published many collections of Border music. His compositions have been recorded by, among others, Scottish lutenist Rob MacKillop, Northumbrian piper Kathryn Tickell, and, more surprisingly, Mexican guitar duo Rodrigo y Gabriela.

The workshop will cover some approaches to arrangement & harmony for mixed melody instruments in a variety of traditional tune genres, with some thoughts on what works, what doesn't work, and why. Some music will be sent out in advance.
