Joanie Madden Spring Fling to Ireland

Whistle
1

Hi Dale and all…


Just letting you know that I’m hosting a musical tour of Ireland along with my Cherish the Ladies cohort Mary Coogan this May 25th to June 2nd. There are a lot of great musicians coming with us and we’re going to be joined by some of the top traditional musicians along the tour for concerts and sessions.

The trip is almost sold out with just a few seats still available. I’m only letting you know because due to demand I’ll be holding some whistle workshops during the week and it might be of interest to some of my fellow chiffandfipplers!

If anyone is interested, you’re welcome to check out the trip http://www.cherishtheladies.com/spring.fling.html

PS
Thanks for keeping this incredible site going Dale… It always amazes me when I check in (which I do often) to see how it continues to grow!
Thanks to all the Chiffies who stopped by and said hello during the past year of touring - let me tell you - everywhere we went we met chiffies and it is sooo great to meet and talk to them!

All the best,
Joanie Madden
