Parker Hill Road Concert
Saturday, March 31
7 pm
Landaff Town Hall
Sponsored by Friends of Landaff

Voting days coming up and other items

Remember that the school meeting is Monday night at 7pm and the town meeting is the next night, Tuesday, March 13 at the town hall.  Voting for both town and school positions will be on Tuesday.

Also, sadly, the town lost a valued citizen this past weekend with the passing of David Towle, after a long battle with cancer.  Dave liked mechanics, wood working, making maple syrup and the Red Sox.

Listen to a sampling of David's music: www.myspace.com/BurkeSurette

  Widely acclaimed as one of New England’s premiere instrumentalists, David Surette is highly regarded for his work on the guitar, mandolin, and cittern. As a soloist, he is nationally known as a top player of Celtic fingerstyle guitar. Yet his diverse repertoire also includes original compositions, blues and ragtime, traditional American roots music, and folk music from a variety of traditions, all played with finesse, taste, and virtuosity. As part of a duo with his wife, singer Susie Burke, they have performed regularly together for 20 years, recording several albums and building a reputation as one of New England’s top folk duos. Surette was a founding member of the Airdance band with fiddler Rodney Miller, with whom he recorded four albums and toured nationally. He is also a highly sought-after accompanist.

  Surette is an accomplished and gifted teacher who has taught at workshops and camps throughout the US, as well as in the UK. He is folk music co-ordinator at the Concord (NH) Community Music School, and artistic director of their March Mandolin Festival. He has authored a book of Celtic fingerstyle guitar arrangements for Mel Bay Publications, and is a regular contributor to Acoustic Guitar and Strings Magazine. In 1994, Surette was awarded a travel grant from the National Endowment for the Arts to study the traditional music of Brittany, and has published a collection of  Breton folk tunes. He has been the recipient of an Individual Artist Fellowship award from the NH State Arts Council, and in the fall of 2008 was designated a Traditional Arts Master by the Maine Arts Comission.

  Surette has released five solo recordings, as well as three duo albums with Susie Burke and a number of other collaborative recordings. His most recent solo CD release, Sun Dog, was one of the top 10 local releases for 2010 (“a stunning piece of work from a gifted guitarist”, Portsmouth Herald).
