Me too.

However someone has already pointed out the difference between workshops such as the Lewes ones, that seem to be (correct me if I'm wrong, Valmai) aimed at experienced singers and musicians, and those (much rarer) aimed at getting beginners started on the ladder. Sometimes mixed-ability works, but generally it's better if all are at a similar level.

Anyway, let's have that thread, when Jim or someone is ready to kick it off.
