I'm sure guitbrett will be able to give more fulsome details in due course but he's just sent me this: "Festival 2016 line up ... Jerry Donahue and Doug Morter , Clive Carroll, Gary Ryan, Sean de Burca. Maybe one more to add but I think a really good and diverse line up." I think it's going to be worth the trip again

Gary Ryan!! I went to a masterclass led by him - great guy and going to be one of the greats (already is really)... his Benga Beat is incredible.
When are the tickets available?

What is the format of the weekend? Talks, demos and performances by the stars? Or is it hands-on? Or a bit of both?

The only thing I couldn't find was the actual date! It's usually the weekend after Halifax... so 30th September to 1st October. Is that still right, guitbrett? jonnymosco, there's plenty of opportunity to get 'up close and personal' with the workshop leaders who, if past experience is anything to go by, are free and easy with their time and happy to spend it talking, demonstrating long after their masterclass has finished.

Get down and personal. What, after Halifax :-)
