I've heard so many good things about the Getaway that I'm finally deciding to splurge and attend this year (from Portland, Oregon). My specialty is Irish singing, both Anglo-Irish and Sean-nos. I didn't check out past years' programs, but I didn't see anything about Irish songs in the suggestions for this year. I could lead a workshop in the history and types of Irish singing traditions or in sean-nos singing, or possibly some other part of the former (rebel songs, emigrant songs, etc), but with the caliber of attendees, there might well be someone else more qualified than I am. Or maybe even just a song circle of Irish songs. Cheers, David
