Nearly 100 melodeon players from all over Britain congregated in Witney for the weekend.

They were attending a Hands on Music weekend at Henry Box School. As well as two days of workshops, there was a concert on November 16.

Hands on Music was set up more than 10 years ago by Dave Townsend, a musician who plays with various groups, including The Mellstock Band and The Lost Chord.

Mr Townsend said: "We offer practical guidance to folk musicians on all sorts of musical instruments, all led by expert performers."

The next Hands on Music weekend will be held on February 1 and 2 for strings and bows.
