Can you please tell us more about the length and structure of each day? 9 till 4…10 till 3?…a rough idea or timetable would be very helpful.

Thank you.

  Hi John, many apologies this isn’t clear. We will update the website shortly. We are aiming to start classes at 10am, but we ask everyone be there by about 9.30 for warm ups etc. The classes will be finished by 4pm, except for the final night where we will be doing a concert for which the times need to be confirmed.
  
  All the best

I have been trying for a week to sign up and have tried to contact you. When I fill in the form it says fiddle 1 is not in stock. Is this correct? Are all places taken. My daughter went last year and is mainly interested in this aspect so fiddle 2 will not give her much play time. Can you advise? Can you also advise what the bhodran and Scandinavian tunes option are.. dance song or fiddle? Thanks.
