Nice to hear from England and Wales! I am learning some of the tunes played at this session (which I plan to join from time to time although it is quite a drive). I am finding most of the tunes so far quite easy to learn. And, Sugarfoot Jack, I think I am getting a sense of these rhythms. Also the a...

i don't know if this would be considered heresy, but I would like to ask about English sessions. Does anyone go to one? I came across one recently and i was struck by how much fun they seemed to be having; also there was beautiful harmony singing. The tunes seem to be simpler than irish tunes, but t...

MArk, I'll see you in Loretto's class!

I want to do an ensemble class and there are two in the time slots for me...with bohola or the Heatons .. any idea which would be best?

Liz

Omigosh!!!

Thanks so much for this info!!! I HAVE to have it..I am a huge Vin Garbutt fan. If anyone ever has a chance to see him, do it. Brilliantly witty man.

Does this make me a completist??

MArk, where are you coming from? Have you booked accomodation yet? Good idea to book early. Look forward to meeting you. Have you decided which classes you are interested in? Sometimes it is hard to choose when you don't know of the teachers, and while some can be great players, they are less than g...

The info re Celtic College in Goderich, Ontario, is finally up on the website.

If you have never been to this amazing week, it really is something to consider.
