Date  19-21 June 2015 The 2015 BMG Summer School was held near a place named Long Ridge, so I called this old time workshop The Long Ridge Ramblers. The participants got into the spirit by dressing the part!

Date  12 March 2016 The 2016 BMG Festival was held in Glasgow, so my workshop became traditional tunes from that city - and if there's one thing Glaswegians are guaranteed to love, that's Glasgow itself!
