The Bert Jansch Foundation have announced that the John Renbourn guitar workshops have sold out, but there is a scholarship opportunity for any interested guitarists under 30.
I know this rules out most of you old codgers on here (and I include myself in that unsavoury group ), but could be a chance for some of our younger members to get some priceless free assistance from a master.
