I have been giving some thought to attending some type of musicians workshop this summer. A couple that come to mind are the workshops conducted at the Kerrville (TX) Folk Festival, and those at Zoukfest (Taos, NM).

Before I make arrangements to go, I would like to know what other festivals ther may be which have workshops as well.

Any suggestions are appreciated (especially if they get me out of the blast furnace that TX is soon to become)!

BTW - I would be most interested in any type of folk/celtic/DADGAD guitar wrorkshops, or any singing/songwriting ones as well.

Think about the fox valley folk festival in Geneva, Illinois on Labor Weekend Sunday and Monday. There's usually some great workshops there.

There's Lark in the Morning's camp in NorCal - Celtic to the max! I think their site is www.larkinam.com, but I could be wrong.

Just 38 days 'til a modest little one-day Folk Festival, now in its 12th year, The Back 40 Folk Festival, an hour southwest of Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, always has a workshop stage running all afternoon. Some folk in MI and ND might be interested. 11-sundown, Sunday June 2, 2002. Very reasonable admission (in those cheap $CDN) and stuff for the WHOLE family. Usually a few thousand in attendance; mainstage, kids stage; workshop stage, in a beautifull grassy bowl on the banks of the Dead Horse Creek.
