Well everyone, you win some and you lose some. I am updating this post as Emer Mayock and Donal Siggins will be unable to attend this weekend due to a visa issue outside of any of our control. We apologize for any inconvenience. However, Matt and Shannon Heaton have graciously agreed to step in and perform on Friday night and teach the flute and guitar workshops on Saturday! The updated schedule will be edited in the first post. Thank you!
