It says there will be classes for the concert flute, and no classes for the irish flute. I find this a bit odd ;/ I thought maybe enrolling untill I read this page.
Strange question but did I understand correctly?
Concert flute = Irish flute. It’s a fairly common term for it.
I always thought Concert Flute means a boehm system silver flute.

Nevertheless, you make me glad I was wrong 
It’s confusing, isn’t it? 
Now that we’re past the misunderstandings, anybody knows who teaches the flute in the event? On the site they don’t mention it…
There are multiple flute teachers at the Fleadh. I can’t remember the full list from last year, but it’s always a bunch of great players. A few that I remember were Finbar McGreevy, Maire Nic Dhiarmada, Eamonn Cotter, Louise Mulcahy. I think Finbar checks the site sometimes, so you could try and find out if he’s teaching again or what not. I’ve also seen someone from Cavan promoting the Fleadh on this site, so maybe drop them a line and see if they have teachers lined up yet. My guess is that it is still early, but who knows?
1, The “irish flute” in bygone era was the concert flute (or is based on a type of concertflute) that was replaced by the Boehm flute.
2. The Boehm flutes in orchestras aren’t always silver. Some of the best makes are wooden.
of course they are not all silver, but I’m pretty sure most of them are.
(no thanks for the wicked I suppose. 
)
Trip, you said “always” and now you are implying you meant “mostly”.
I “always” thought that was the general meaning of the term Esspecially if most of them are silver anyway… right? be it silver or wooden, it’s the boehm system that mattered to me in the Concert Flute term.
Sorry, I didn’t get the part with the wicked… ? ;/
That just meant that I felt like DIRT.
