Ian, I have given lessons before and am just starting another newbie. It's a weird instrument to learn especially if you play guitar already (or are a real musician!). I'd happily give you or anyone else an intro session.
I had lessons in the 60s from a River Resident called Jack Forth, he was an old jazz band player and in his 80s then, anyone here been around long enough to remember him? The lesson always ended with a glass of home made wine, seems a habit with banjo players
