Scoil Fonn agus Amhrán 2024
In 1982 Comhairle na Mumhan initiated Scoil Fonn & Amhrán in response to the concern being expressed at that time about the quality of air playing, narrow repertoire of singers and musicians, all numbers participating in slow air playing and singing competitions, and the over emphasis on reel and jigs, etc. at sessions and classes to the apparent detriment of our airs. This year we continue with Scoil Fonn & Amhrán in conjunction with Fleadh Cheoil na Mumhan in Ursuline Secondary School on Thursday, July 18th starting at 11am
This will be an intensive one day series of workshops on slow air playing, Fidil/Fiddle, Cruit/Harp, Feadóg Mhór/Flute, Feadóg/Whistle, Amhránaíocht and Singing.
