The UK bluegrass festival season is in full swing now. Last weekend saw the every popular East Anglia bluegrass Festival, and following hot on its heels is the Black mountain Bluegrass picking Weekend at Clyro Court, Hay on Wye. You can keep up with all of these on our Festivals Page.
SoreFingers grant available for October 2023
A single grant is currently available for any member who would like to attend the October Sorefingers weekend – applications should be made through the Sponsorship Page. The BBMA recognises the fact that education does not stop at an early age, and it is our hope that we will be able to support some more mature students who might otherwise struggle to find the funding.
