Bellows and Buttons are pleased to be able to offer a social weekend of D/G melodeon playing and music, based in the town of Settle, in Ribblesdale, North Yorkshire, from 24th to 26th April 2026.
We are welcoming all levels of playing: from Absolute Beginners to Accomplished Players.
More information will be available here over the summer or you can contact us to be added to our mailing list for the latest updates
Thanks to the generosity of our sponsor, Acorn Instruments, we are able to offer a limited number of bursaries in order to encourage melodeon playing by young people and therefore help safeguard the future of melodeon playing within British folk music. These bursaries will be offered to young people, aged 13 - 18 years old and amount to a free place on the course for the weekend. To apply for a bursary please contact us with information about yourself and a short reason why you would like to play melodeon.
Our sponsor, Acorn Instruments, will have a trade stall of new and used instruments over the weekend.
