Whats he covering Jim and what does it cost? Does it cater for different levels? You have to be careful with these workshop type things, you wouldn't want to spend all that time and money only to find yourself in a classroom full of complete novices clapping out compas por Solea.

Emma (El Craic) will be there. I'm skipping group workshops completely, anyway it is always my excuse to go to Spain, not Bath

I might be intrested Jim, love Bath, went to a Bach festival there, Jon's got a point though. And If you dont speak Spanish the festivals in Spain are a pain.

Hi Jon,

There are two course levels, but just how advanced the second level will be, I guess depends on how many of mi amigos turn up.

I know exactly what you mean about wasted time and basic stuff, I've been to so many of these before, but Ron regards him highly as a teacher/player and I thought 'what the hell!' It'll be an experience and who knows? just don't expect too much.

In the past, I've enjoyed the people I meet and the unofficial sessions with a few beers.

There are various residential packages available and the price depends on them. I'm in basic accommodation on the campus and it's a few hundred quid, my wife booked for me so I don't have an exact figure. I'll drive down, park the car and try to get out and about inbetweentimes.

Nice place to be.

Cheers
Jim.
