Thought there may be a few out there who may be keen to attend this years Blas Festival as Alec Finn and Donal Lunny are both back again this year teaching Bouzouki for 2 days each.
See http://www.ul.ie/~iwmc/Blas/index.html
for full details.
I was there last year and it was simply amazing to learn from IMHO the 2 best Bouzouki players in the universe.
Hope to see you there
Pete
Hey Pete, strange to see you lurking around here...
It would be amazing to try to make it to that, especially since Zoukfest is scaled down this year because of the College of Santa Fe being shut down for the summer.
But I doubt the finances will warrant me making the trip.
@Rev - in the past there's been a scholarship available for US attendees of the Blas School: http://www.ul.ie/~iwmc/Blas/g_scholarships.html#TR
It's an excellent program - I went in 2007 and found it very inspiring
P.S. There are several scholarships if you're in Ireland
