Well I’m home and cosy warm, got the fire going and now dreaming of a better mandolin, a nice A5 is my dream. Thank you so much for organising the most fabulous 5 days I’ve had in a long time…The teaching, coaching and sessions were fantastic. I have made lots of new friends and contacts and look forward to seeing everyone again. I’m sure next year the people will be doubled, so it will never be as intimate as that again. So I count myself very blessed to be a part of the first one….. K.M

Practicing in the Garden at the Priory

Thank you for a great 2 days of learning. I set out to concentrate on the mandolin but got caught up in the first guitar workshop. Kevin was very good, really knows how to teach.. P.D

Thank you to you both for all your effort in putting on such a great 4 days. From all the whispers I have heard the workshops will only be fuller next year. Craig did a fantastic job on OT banjo, I wasn’t quite up to the speed I would like to have been, but I have a lot of material to help me get there for next year…..G.M

A consummate logistical effort – and the reward is for all of us! Organisers and delegates alike should feel the glow of success…… Well done…..B.L

Enjoyed and benefited from the BG Banjo workshop. Fred was able to help each person at their level, then combined session to finish was terrific….. M.

Fun, fun, fun; instructors were great; reasonable cost; learnt a lot; would like to come again next year…. I.H.

Many thanks for an excellent music camp. All flowed smoothly, teachers were most helpful and I have certainly been inspired. Everyone from the Back’o’Bourke and beyond would have enjoyed it as much as I did. Well done…. A. P.

We have had a lovely time over the last few days. We learnt a lot at the workshops, everyone was very supportive. We really liked the way the workshops were scheduled. We had chances to go to many different workshops instead of just attending one thing. Well done… G.N.

Thank you very much for all the help and support you have all given. I’ve felt really included and also felt like there’s opportunity for me to re-learn things properly. It’s made a big difference in my confidence…. M.B

Many thanks for inviting me to the 2 days pre Kelly pick. It was just great to have 4 days full of music. I was so inspired that I went out to buy some new strings and bought a Gibson as well…I just loved the mando and fiddle lessons, so helpful in learning to play these instruments. I hope you will run 2011…..S.N

The camp was wonderful. The positive vibe gave the beginners confidence which is what they need most…. it was noticable how much the quality improved over the two days. K.P
