About Pure Banjo

Welcome to Pure Banjo.com Ireland’s best wee archive of traditional Irish music. This site is primarily aimed at beginner through to advanced level tenor banjo & mandolin. I have teamed up with other banjo/mandolin tutors based around the Belfast area to provide a music support website to help students advance in their learning capabilities.

Hopefully the site can grow into a network archive where banjo/mandolin tutors can share teaching resources, experiences and skills to pass on to their students. Check back often to view the newly added content and audio support to help you out with home practice and become a top banjo/mandolin player…

If you are at beginner level click here to watch some videos I have created, also the menus below including ‘recently added tunes’ will contain new audio tunes I am currently teaching in class. There is a fine line comparison between the beginner and intermediate levels as they share similar tunes. At Intermediate you will be expected to play the tunes more fluently and with added ornamentation. At advanced level the pace will be picked up and extra skills added.  I hope you will gain something from using the website and so check back often to see and listen to new content.
