Brand new Workshop room announced for 2016

NEW to 2016 is our Workshop room, where you can learn from the experts in an up close and personal setting.

Dutch Guitarist/Producer Evert Zeevalkink is an Eastman Artist with the talent to get the best out of both the instruments, the artists and the gear he uses.

In his workshop, you can see the master at work and learn how to make the most of these tiny boxes, exploring new territory with your playing.

Evert’s worshop will run on Saturday and Sunday at both 11.20 and 13.20.

You can also watch the UK Public Premiere of Martin’s Ballad of the Dreadnought documentary in our brand new Workshop room at 12.20 and 15.20 on both days at the show. Martin’s dreadnought has become perhaps the archetypal acoustic guitar outline, and with 100 years of history behind its belt, Martin has seen fit to honour it with a documentary film.

Main stage artist Richard Gilewitz will also be holding a ukulele workshop on both days at 14.20. Beginners will easily pick up the techniques while advanced uke players will experience the fun of fingerstyle patterns and will hone their playing.
