Now that we’ve been hosting courses for over two-years, it is gratifying to still get a thrill when opening the course handbook for an upcoming course. To see the fruits of hard labour, the dedication and the foresight of a great mind put into the written word is always invigorating. This was certainly the case for the upcoming Gwen Jull masterclass.

Having spent my twenties promoting music events, there are exciting times to be had putting on gigs with up and coming artists, one hit wonders, and the time proven legends. For me, what Gwen brings to the party is a unique back-catalogue of research, and from the pitch of her handout, an important message contextualised by time, contemporary understanding and experience, for us all to take from.

If you are in two minds about whether to attend this rare UK course, I can assure you that the content, the timetable and the lectures look great. If you can’t reach for the two-day course in Sheffield, we are streaming her two-hour Headache lecture on the 15th September 7-9. I look forward to welcoming both you, and Gwen to Sheffield.
