If you've got a travelling version of this, it would be good to run it as a Lewes Arms workshop in 2010 (with Chris Coe doing a ballad forum at the same time).

All the best,

Valmai (Lewes)

This sounds fantastic. Will any of this be filmed or recorded so that we over here in the US could enjoy and learn from it?

This is the first time we've tried it so I'll be looking for ways to develop it into something distributable - a CD-Rom or whatever in the future.

We could always bring it over to the States for a little holiday! :-)

This like a brilliant day out. With only 20 places it could soon sell out. I will confirm 2 places today.

Cheers
