Everyone joining us -whatever your standard- will come away a better and more rounded player, with bags of inspiration, better technique, new ideas and new friends!

Keep an eye on this site for news about masterclasses, artists, tutors, events and performances. Also feel free to use the Mike Dolbear forum to ask questions, give us comments or share experiences from previous years. We really want to make this a week that everyone can be a part of.
