    Sounds like a great event altogether. What's not to like?
    I've often felt that we should focus more on the harp as a source of material. Suits the mandolin, I think, and the music of O'Carolan is a very good place to start.

    Here's an important announcement: this workshop turned out so popular and with such a considerable wait list of attendees that Simon has opened up a second version of it. Read about it here.

    Simon says (you knew that was coming, right?), "Same hotel, repertoire and price but the new dates are 14-16 April 2023."
