Recruiting for Meitheal Cheoil music classes
North London for September 2015
We are now recruiting for new Meitheal Cheoil music classes starting in September
including brand new beginner children's classes in fiddle, banjo, mandolin and whistle.
We are also expanding our adult classes (all these instruments plus flute)
at beginner and intermediate/ advanced levels
(please note that current adult beginner classes on fiddle and banjo/ mandolin have only
completed one year, if you're someone who made a start a long time ago
and haven't touched the instrument for years - this level might be suitable for you).
Lots of fun music making ahead for 2015/16.
If you are interested in or would like to find out more about our classes please reply to this email.
Tutors: Karen Ryan and Kathy Walton.

Apologies to anyone who did not access my message through facebook and turned up to

In concert at the London Irish Centre

John Doyle is not only a fine singer but more importantly, an imaginative and original
songwriter who really grabs audiences with his ability to tell a story through song. Coupled
with his high standing as one of the best acoustic guitarists around, this makes for a
memorable evening's music.
?Doyle on guitar has risen to a level occupied by him alone. No one in Irish traditional music
is a better guitarist than him right now. ? In addition, his vocal delivery and his songwriting
have never been more impressive.'
'
Earle Hitchner, The Wall Street Journal and formerly The Irish Echo
