I went last year and learned so much.The participants were a lovely selection of people and everyone was so keen to learn. Everyone I met had a genuine interest in Folk music and was involved from 9.15am till as long as you could take - Midnight+ usually with Midnight++ on some occasions.(Drinking is optional *BG*)Have booked again for Solo Song and singing with band. Some flexibility is possible so if space is available I might play Northumbrian Smallpies in a concert/ceildh band rather than play only in the innumerable sessions.
Cannot be recommended too highly. Please allow at least 3 weeks following the course to come back to Earth.
Happy learning to you all - John
