Dear friends and colleagues,

Here is a link to a short film I just finished called 'The Luthiers of Fintry'.

The film was shot during a very recent trip to Fintry to visit the workshops of luthiers Bill Kelday, Sheena Laurie and Michael Ritchie. It features interviews and performances on various instruments and offers a glimpse into the lives of three lovely people who are dedicating their lives to the making of instruments.

There is a collection of photographs from the trip at my Facebook page.

For anyone considering coming on the 2012 Classical Guitar Retreat there are still a few places left, just contact me if you are interested in attending one of the most special classical guitar events in the world!

The fourth Classical Guitar Retreat takes place July 5th -9th at the Cathedral of the Isles on the Island of Cumbrae off the west coast of Scotland. CGR is a unique course set on a beautiful Scottish Island with some of the very best performers and educators working to guide, educate and inspire students of the Classical Guitar. A highlight of the 2012 course is a performance and masterclass by the fantastic Polish guitarist Marcin Dylla.
