The Dublin Irish Festival Academy will again be offering some
great classes on the Wednesday and Thursday evenings before the
festival.
July 29 and 30, 6:30 to 8:30 pm at the Dublin Community
Recreation Center
Very few people have registered for the Academy so far and the
City of Dublin needs to confirm hotel registrations for the
out-of-town instructors. Consequently, any classes that do
not look like they will have the minimum enrollment will be cancelled
if enough people are not registered by July 13.
If you are interested in taking a class,
you'd better register ASAP!
The classes will be:
Beginning Level
- Bodhran - Michael Vignoles
- Whistle - Brian McCoy
Intermediate Level
- Fiddle - Deborah Colon
- Country Set/Ceili Dance - Jim Keenan
- Irish Language - Ron Crow
Intermediate/Advanced Level
- Sean Nos Singing - Niamh Parsons
- Bodhran - Jackie Moran
- Accompanying Irish Music - Brian Miller (Standard tuned Guitar, DADGAD tuned Guitar; Bouzouki, Cittern, Octave Mandolin)
Advanced Level
- Flute (Grey Larsen)
- Fiddle (Chris Bain)
All the instructors are
great. You can find out more about these classes by
going to the DIF website, where you will also find instructions for
registering.

Dublin residents can register online, but others can easily
register over the phone using a credit card. Call
614-410-4500.
Please pass the word about this great opportunity.

Dave Coplin and Stuart Brand
P.S. If there is not a music class for you, consider taking Irish
Country Set Dancing from Jim Keenan. He's a great teacher and
you can use what you learn here in central Ohio. The Columbus
Irish Country Set Dancers meet on Sunday afternoons in UA; beginners
welcome.
