He's performed in Riverdance & recorded with Donal Lunny, Altan, Paul Brady, Arkady, Artie McGlynn, Mary Black & Tim Edey, plus Kate Bush, Sting, Van Morrison, James Galway & Shirley Bassey. This year Brendan & Tim Edey won Best Duo at the BBC2 Folk Awards. Brendan also plays brilliant pop, jazz & blues & beatboxes.
The workshop will cover Brendan's approach to playing traditional Irish tunes on harmonica, as well as Blues and improvising. He'll also explain his microphone and effects. No previous experience necessary – ask questions relevant to your playing, or just come along and enjoy a fascinating & entertaining workshop.
