This is a wee reminder for those in Toronto and further afield to bookmark the first weekend in February for three days of concerts, workshops and sessions centred around Irish traditional music. Lessons and Masterclasses are offered on Uilleann Pipes, Fiddle, Wooden Flute, Whistle, Guitar, Accordion and Dancing amongst others. Two of Ireland's finest pipers in Robbie Hannon and Ciaran O'Maille are being flown over for the event which is becoming more popular every year (it's now in it's eleventh) and attendees are coming from as far afield as Virginia, BC, New York, Winnipeg and other far flung locales. There are three concerts, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, a Family Ceilidh, endless sessions where ever the musicians find a spare corner, beer and food. The whole shebang goes down at the Tranzac Club (Bloor and Brunswick). This event is considered to be one of the finest of it's kind outside of Ireland and is the perfect cure for those deep mid-winter blues. Call Debbie Quigley, 416-269-9052 or e-mail her at psychopipes@hotmail.com for registration. More contacts are on the website, www.chrislangan.com If that isn't enough don't forget that the Flying Cloud Folk Club host their regular show on Sunday night as well..............
