Recent workshops include Guitar Retreats in the UK, Creative Vacances in France, The Swannanoa Gathering in the USA, and the London Acoustic Guitar Show. Some of the workshops happen on the afternoon of a concert appearance at a festival or an arts centre. Others are day-, weekend-, or week-long, and feature lots of one-on-one time as well as ample group playing. Topics have included Americana guitar, blues guitar, slide guitar, and songwriting in the roots music tradition In addition to these workshops and masterclasses, Williams is a visiting lecturer at Anglia Ruskin University in Cambridge, where he works with aspiring musicians in the popular music programme. In 2012 Williams was awarded an Arts Award by the South Cambridgeshire District Council for his involvement in the Cambridge arts scene. – See more at: http://www.brookswilliams.com/workshops/#sthash.O4PdXtl7.dpuf
