Session and Workshops

20th to 22nd September
SA13 3DB 
Willow Springs Campsite

Ticket: £50 plus

£20 camping 2 nights

£140 - Shepherd's Hut  for 2 nights - split between up to 3 people. 

3 Huts available 

Play trad tunes in a session format, while camping or glamping in a beautiful campsite in Welsh Hills. The site is stunning: it's in the clouds with breathtaking views, next to a huge sketchy forest.  

To accommodate musicians on different stages of their trad journey, there will be 2 workshops a day, to learn a tune or two. 

Otherwise, this weekend is to meet like minded musicians, to play as a big group, or go off in smaller groups to play on a hillside, as you please. 

If the peace and tranquility doesn't get your heart rate going, then the plunge pool certainly will - until it slows down so much because it's ridiculously cold. We have 2 saunas now - there will be singing and Nyanga pipes from Mozambique in each of them on the Saturday. 

But if you think the sauna makes you sweat, then what about the bizarre creatures known to us as llamas, who will leave you feeling more confused than when you arrived? Meanwhile the pigs will try to escape to find you and be your friend. 

Lunch and Dinner is provided on Friday night and Saturday. BYOB, bring wellies. 

Toilets and Showers, recycling centre, drying room, and Spring Water - this is UV filtered pure stuff, right off the hillside from the spring, and gives you back 2 minutes of life for each cup. I myself am nearly 29 again. Pure magic.
