Michael Cooney will be giving an intermediate level Uilleann Piping workshop and house concert on Saturday May 5th. in New Paltz, NY.
New Paltz is about half way between NYC and Albany- exit 18 of the NYS Thruway.
There are a couple of spaces available for the afternoon workshop and we can also accomodate some more people at the concert that evening. There will be a bit of a session afterwards also!
If anybody is interested, please e-mail me at liam@hvc.rr.com

Bump.
Still space available in the class.
Thanks to everybody who turned up for the Hudson River Pipers Club class and house concert with Michael Cooney.
The class was great. Michael was in fine form and taught a few nice tunes. One was called “the Italian Mazurka” and another tune suggested by a student that can be heard at the begining of the movie “The Wind that Shakes the Barley”. Does anybody know the name of this tune?
We had a full house for the concert and it was one of the best piping performances I have seen in a long time.
There was a nice session afterwards. A young fiddle player named Dylan Foley turned up and was very impressive.
I highly recommend Michael as a teacher and performer. And he is a really nice guy also!
