There are a few changes we are excited about. We will be offering Harp classes for the first time in September, taught by Lucy Kerr. We hope to have a few instruments for hire. We are also bringing back Tim O’Flaherty’s tin whistle class for younger children. And, we are delighted to welcome Aiden Walsh to the Society. He will be taking the banjo/mandolin classes over from Gerry McCartney.
See you all in September!
