Always a pleasure to watch The British Violin Making Association folk at work! Blending artistry, mathematics and instinct to transform natural materials into a beautiful violin — it really is a kind of magic. Feels more like Hogwarts than Halsway when they are here 🪄🎻

Quick reminder: it's the last couple of weeks to get your grant applications in to us. There are two pots - small and big - and we're interested in supporting folk-related projects taking place anywhere in the UK. Link in the comments (where it now has to be - thanks a bunch, Meta...)
