SLIDE & POLKA WORKSHOP

At Fleadh na Mumhan 1997 in Abbeyfeale, the Munster Slide and Polka playing workshops were initiated and have proved invaluable over the years to ensure the promotion of the playing of polkas and slides in the province.

This workshop is always tutored by a well-known Sliabh Luachra musician and takes places each year in conjunction with Scoil Fonn agus Amhráin.

 

Polkas and Slides are an integral part of the musical heritage in Munster and these annual workshops will help to ensure the continuation of this aspect of our musical heritage into the future.
