Hi Danny,

I know it is sometime since your request for info on a teacher in your area and I hope you have either found one or have progressed and now have no need however I attended, just for a few hours, yesterday the Gower Bluegrass festival at the Gower Heritage site nr. Swansea. I had an incredible time and next year hope to attend for the entire event Friday - Sunday.

I was handed a magazine whilst I was there published by the "British Bluegrass Music Association" www.britishbluegrass.co.uk Who organised the event. They have area representatives for the UK details of which I show below it is possible that the representative in your area may know of teachers for bluegrass banjo and other instruments in your area they will certainly be aware of gatherings in your area organised by the BBMA which may be worth a visit.
