Hi Fyenix.

Just tried to U2U you but I don't think it worked. What I was suggesting was:

I'm wondering, if we're going to meet up next week and you're on the Ahsan Emam course, would you be able to try to set a time and place? You might be able to ask SOAS if they can spare a room. We could all give you our email addresses and you could let you know if you manage to sort something out.

From my own point of view, Wednesday or Thursday would be the best days. I understand from the SOAS website that the course is from 5-7pm, so we could meet in the afternoon if it suited you.

I'm not sure too many others will be able to make it, but the more advance notice we can get, the more likely it is we'll be able to get at least a few people together.

Cheers

I'd love to go to the SOAS Iraqi music week! But I don't think I'll make it. It's already started today. But I'd certainly love to meet up with any UK oudists in future, I'm a beginner Oudist and I'm in the North west of England by the sea, a few hours from Manchester.

My first post. :wavey:

Hi Awad and thanks for keeping this alive. I would love to come and am putting the 20th in my diary. I might be getting married that weekend (you'd think I'd know the date by now, wouldn't you?) but short of that, I'll be there.

Kelly, what's the Swahili mean? Something about a big goat? Are you digging a muchomo pit in Hulme community centre? That would be cool.

20th September? Cool! Can I come? :D

How will it work, everyone bring their Ouds and just generly talk about Ouds? Kinda sounds like what we do on these forums anyway... just kidding.

I'll probably be meeting Kelly soon anyway, gonna look at an Oud she has, and probably buy it. ;)

Hi Owain,

yes mate you're most welcome, what else to do or talk about buddy but Ouds once you start its hard to stop, I'm sure you already found out ;)

I know Kelly's Oud very well, you will love it but a friendly advice do not raise your expectation mate Kelly is a bloke :))

See ya soon,

Awad

Hi Owain. Yes I picked it up the other day. It plays very well. Just getting used to the 7 courses. Its like having 2 instruments in one- high string side and bass. I'll post a pic of Dr Moussa and his oud. Sound file to follow when I've mastered mp3 formatting!

I'd love to come - at the moment the 20th looks clear so send me details too. What is the format for the day, it sounds like you have a regular thing going on there. Is there anywhere to kip? if needs be!! It'll be great to meet you all, a real pleasure.
