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.

Brendan has announced on his Facebook page that he'll be using live loops in performance - I hasten to say that this is not a comment on our usual audiences.

Not to be missed! If you're coming at this notice, please bring cash on the day. We've still got a few places, but there isn't time to put a cheque through the club's account.
