Brian Connolly is known around the world for his traditional renditions of Irish music and has toured with Craobh Rua since forming the band in the 1980s. He recently published an acclaimed tutor book for the banjo and is busy finishing the rest of this series of publications. He is an expert teacher and will offer valuable tuition and advice to any aspiring banjo players. This workshop is suited for intermediate/advanced level.

The Banjo/mandolin classes joined forces with the concertina & bodhrán classes for their first ceol practice Sessiún and with great success. I was very impressed to hear our students perform together for a couple of sets, especially as some students have only been playing their instruments little more than five weeks.
