Alistair Anderson

This is our third year in the big city at the Copthorne Hotel on Newcastle’s happening quayside. As before there are plenty of chances to socialise and jam as well as venture out into this historic city!

We continue to develop the event and this year are delighted to welcome acclaimed musician and educator Alistair Anderson as our North East guest speaker on Thursday, and Hammered Dulcimer player Amanda Lowe to run a range of workshops as part of the Wednesday programme.

This year we include workshops suitable for any instrument, meanwhile we continue with that unique North Eastern flavour. Start learning Geordie now – gan canny!
