Blas 2007 at the Celtic Cafe

Blas 2007

A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity -- and it happens every summer!

Just imagine master classes with Niall Keegan on flute and Tommy Hayes on bodhran. Dream of the chance to study fiddle with Kevin Burke and Martin Hayes, voice with Karan Casey and Muireann Nic Amhlaoibh, banjo with John Carty, piano with Geraldine Cotter or the legendary Mícheál Ó Súilleabháin. It's all real: lectures, classes, concerts and ceili, all in two weeks in the Irish summer.
