 GFW (Glasgow Folkmusic Workshop)

GFW (Glasgow Folkmusic Workshop), is a community music organisation based in Glasgow. It was founded over 30 years ago to teach Scottish fiddle music (its first incarnation was as the Glasgow Fiddle Workshop). Over the years it added other classes and now, while fiddle is still the largest element, GFW teaches classes in mandolin, whistle, guitar, banjo, ukulele, cello, and others.

I was a senior tutor at GFW for more than 20 years, responsible for guiding and shaping the classes, liaising with and advising the tutors, and communicating with the GFW board.In June 2024 I retired from the GFW, and while I will miss it very much, I have nothing but good memories of my time there.
