There's usually flute tuition at the adult Feis Rois in Ullapool - just checked their website, and it's 4th - 7th May. Tutors include Cathal McConnell and Claire Mann.

There's the Burwell Bash, August 20-24 in Burwell, near Cambridge. Brian Finnegan teaches flute & whistle there. http://www.burwellbash.info/about.shtml
I haven't been, but hope to get there someday. Brian's great, and there's guitar with Ed Boyd, fiddle with Tola Custy, etc.

Brian Finnegan is also the flute/whistle tutor at Folkworks in Durham in August. (I think he is also
director of the adult summer school). Lovely setting at Collingwood College.
