Sore Fingers Bluegrass week

Sore Fingers Summer SchoolsOur friend Laura Leder from Cool Mandolin Company emailed recently to ask us to remind students of bluegrass and old time music – both here in the US, and in the UK and Europe – about Sore Fingers Week 2008.

The annual event will be held March 24-28 in Oxfordshire (UK), with classes offered in a residential setting over five days for fiddle, guitar, mandolin, banjo, resophonic guitar, bass, singing and autoharp. The faculty is drawn from top performers from both sides of the Atlantic.

A full instructor listing can be found on the Sore Fingers web site.
