A Cháirde - Friends,

After lots of pressure the dates of the next Frankie Kennedy Winter School have been decided.

These are December 28th 2000 - January 2nd 2001

We will begin this year again early in the afternoon of the 28th with registration, followed by classes at 3.00pm, and the official opening at 5.00pm.
Classes will continue on the 29th and 30th, with concerts early after the classes each evening
The 31st being New Years Eve (happens every year) is special - so plans are still afoot on what to do!
The 1st usually kicks of with an early afternoon concert/matinee - just to kick start the New Year
The nights of the 1st & 2nd are 'traditionally' reserved for ALTAN

Details of the Concerts/Performers will be posted later

The classes will be in

Flute (Basic - Intermediate - Advanced)
Fiddle (Basic - Intermediate - Advanced)
Uilinn Pipes (Mixed Ability)
Whistle (Mixed Ability)

There will also be a workshop in Sean Nos Singing

Due to requests and if there is enough interest we will also consider making classes available in

The price for tuition is still under consideration - however details will be posted soon.
