I'll try and crystallise the weekend in a later post - best story was phil Brown (bigwhistle co), who tutors tin whistle and low whistle, saying how nice it was to work with another whistle tutor (Bev Whelan - attractive and beautifully proportioned...) What he actually said to all the attendees, "It's been lovely to have Bev to bounce off this weekend."
But it went wonderfully well: we've reserved the same weekend at Waddow next year. There may be more, but I'll post on Mudcat.
