ADULT TRAD MUSIC, SONG & DANCE WEEKEND 9th-11th MARCH

The MHF Manx Music Development Team is holding a workshop weekend for musicians in March based at the MHF offices at The University Centre Stable Building, Old Castletown Road (Nunnery site). 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 teach Irish tunes to all instruments as well as to the Bree session.
