Each of the workshops will be led by a professional or semi-professional musician with years of experience in the bluegrass and americana field as well as in other genres. Workshops are intended for those of all abilities and will be most suitable for beginners, learners and improvers.

You will need your instrument of choice and a means of writing down the things you learn. A recording device is also very useful to bring back details of the teaching after the event.

The workshop will last three hours from 10:00 to 1:00. Please arrive in good time to get the best benefit from the workshop and to not disrupt others by arriving late. There will be a drinks break somewhere about half way through.
