Spaces filling up for UK bluegrass camp

Though the popular Sore Fingers bluegrass instructional camp in England won’t be held until April of 2006, reports are that the slots are rapidly filling up. UK and European bluegrass pickers who want to take advantage of this highly regarded resource are encouraged to look into it right away before spaces are all reserved.

This is a five day workshop featuring well known instructors from both sides of the Atlantic, with classes offered in both bluegrass and old time playing styles. Scheduled faculty include: Ron Stewart (banjo), Mike Compton (mandolin), Jack Lawrence (guitar), Riley Baugus (banjo), Rayna Gellert (fiddle) and a great many others as well.
