About this Event

A focused group workshop in Irish traditional banjo with one of the instrument's most in-demand teachers and performers. From North Tipperary, Clíodhna began on piano and whistle before progressing to the banjo, drawing deeply on players such as John Carty and Brian McGrath, and was heavily influenced by the older fiddle and accordion music of Sligo and East Galway. This class will cover technique, ornamentation, and the rhythmic feel that makes the banjo sing in a session context. Best suited for intermediate to advanced players. Bring your banjo.
