and this year, as well as a basic whistle class, we have a masterclass with Brian Finnegan of Flook!
We also have Mick O’Brien on uilleann pipes, and a load of other folk.
So please check out our website and festival, especially if you’re in or near Scotland.
If any C&F’ers are going, please make yourselves known to John Jackson or myself when you’re there.
I’ll be giving it laldy at one of the 3 sessions on the Saturday night.
[The Craig Bar, the Ben Mhor Hotel or the Garth Hotel]
[we’ve had a number of C&F’ers visit us over the years…incl Erik or ErikT, the guy who makes the silver plated whistles…he gave me a wee blast on one in a local chip shop!
Among others, Alba whistles have displayed at our instrument makers exhibition also.]
Brian Finnegan’s class still has a couple of places left.
There’s also another whistle class for those of us who aren’t yet trying to get to “master” level, plus 2 each of guitar and fiddle workshops, uilleann pipes with Mick O’Brien, plus a voice class, and clarsach too.
