Mickey Dunne will be in Los Angeles the weekend of April 5 & 6. There will be a mini-tionól and house concert at my house. Reg. fee is $75 (includes concert–concert only $20). Space is very limited, so please RSVP to ldunn@socalpipers.com
Also, Martin Hayes and Dennis Cahill are playing at McCabe’s Guitar Shop in Santa Monica on Sunday evening, so there will be an unofficial post-tionól field trip over there More info at http://www.mccabes.com/condata.html
I was only able to be there Saturday, but indeed my time spent at the Tionol was great! Mickey is a very positive and first rate instructor; a very nice gentleman. I learned a lot. Thanks Larry and Linda for your hospitality and your kindness to my wife. It will not be soon forgotten!
All the best,
For the record, I think the hornpipe Mickey taught is called the Bel Harbour hornpipe. Its the same one Maire Ni Ghrada played when she was here. If you have a copy of the tionol recording, its the 2nd tune after Chief O’Neill’s.
And I think its worming its way into my head. He certainly puts a BUNCH of triplets into his playing.
Unfortunately I couldn’t get over to Larry’s on Sunday as well so someone needs to tell us what transpired.
