2013 Tinto Summer Schools dates announced. See below

Tinto Summer School is a much-loved 5-day residential school in traditional music for high school age (12-18) participants. In 2011, the available places were booked up within minutes of the website going live! The school takes place at Wiston Lodge, a beautiful Victorian former hunting lodge in the peaceful rural heart of South Lanarkshire. Students partake in five hours of teaching per day with top traditional musicians from all over the country. In addition to the teaching they have a number of activities for evenings and breaks including campfires, BBQs, a fancy dress ceilidh and a tutor concert as well as outdoor games. A happy participant wrote “I thought Tinto was amazing!! best week of my life…amazing tutors and amazing music!!! Tinto Summer School is organised by Simon Thoumire of Hands up for Trad and administered by Paul Murray.
