There will be three 1-hour workshops:
Beginners 6:30 - 7:30pm

Note from me
Debbie Quigley is one of my favourite musicians. Principally an uillean piper, she is also an exceedingly sweet and musical whistle player. Her playing is never flashy but always in impeccable taste, and her knowledge of “the music” is extensive. She lives in Toronto. I think it would be worth the drive to Montreal for people in Quebec City, Ottawa or northern New England.

I’ve never had a workshop with her but I’ve heard her play both pipes and whistle. Lovely whistle playing. I’d drive two hours for a workshop. Actually, if she gave one in Toronto, it would take me about two hours to get there.

There is no way I can make it. Everybody I have asked about Debby Quigly has said the nicest things about her. She must be wonderful and an amazing teacher by all accounts. Too bad I’ll miss this chance to meet her.
