ADVANCE NOTICE... MHF ADULT TRAD MUSIC, SONG & DANCE WORKSHOPS 10th & 11th MARCH

Get your diaries out so that you can save space for the annual MHF Adult Trad Music Song & Dance workshop weekend: 10th & 11th March at the MHF offices in The Stable Building at the University Centre (Nunnery site) and in the Nunnery Chapel itself. The workshops will be led by Donegal singer Noeleen Ní Cholla and Belfast-based dancer and instrumentalist Tim Flaherty. Both experienced tutors, the pair are looking forward to their first visit to Mannin. Tim speaks Irish and Noeleen both Irish and Scottish Gaelic, so they are intrigued to see where Manx Gaelic and Manx culture lie in relation to those more familiar to them. Noeleen has performed all around the world and with a whole host of well-known singers from the Gaelic world. She will be teaching Irish solo and harmony (choral) singing and will help lead a Bree youth trad music session. An experienced dancer who performs with Belfast’s All Set, Tim will teach both set-dancing and sean nos dancing to more experienced dancers. Tim will also lead sessions on the whistle and teaching Irish tunes to all instruments as well as to the Bree session. Spaces will be limited by venue size, so be sure to sign up early - there’ll be a timetable available soon. In the meantime, email Breesha Maddrell for more details or to register your interest.
