After hacking away for the last two years from cd's and a book, I am now looking for someone patient to give me some lessons on tenor banjo (irish tuning) preferably in South London area, Thanks Andy.
Mick O'Connor - I suspect you can contact him through Mick Bailey (on this site). If not I might have his number somewhere. http://www.belsizesquare.freeserve.co.uk/
Thanks all for the reply's. Hammersmith Irish Centre tells me that Brendan gives group lessons which is not really what i'm looking for at the moment. Mick O'Connor (if i manage to get in contact with him) seems like the way to go even if Kilburn is a bit of a trek from the Sutton area. Andy
Mick lives in Kilburn, but I thought he taught in Camden. Anyway both are light years from Sutton. I see there are contact details for him on the Wraggle Taggle site.
Cheers for the info lads. I spoke to Liam Farrell recently at a Le Cheile reunion gig in Hammersmith Irish Centre (minus a few original members) but he does'nt give lessons. I never heard of this Kevin Boyle chap but i will make a few inquiries. Thanks again Andy.
If you e-mail me, I'll give you Gerry Diver's contact details. He is a very experienced teacher who teaches privately in the Tooting area, which might be convenient for you. He is a multi-instrumentalist, which includes being a great tenor banjo player.
I think i've got it sorted now. I have been put in touch with a chap in the Croydon area who is willing to help me out if he can, and even better he does'nt want paying, decent or what? Andy.

Re: Banjo Lessons
I think Kevin Boyle and Liam Farrell (both ex Le Cheile) are South London based. I don't know if either gives lessons.
