Re: Banjo tution south armagh, south down, co monaghan, co louth?
I don't know a teacher offhand, but a couple of places to have a look:
There used to be a session in Newry with a couple of strong banjo players in it. It was Nan Rice's but I think it's been in the Railway for the last 10 odd years: http://www.thesession.org/sessions/display/307
Failing that, get in touch with Emmett Quinn in Camlough. He's a great fiddle player who runs a session in his pub and will know a load of the local players and teachers on most instruments. http://www.thesession.org/sessions/display/82
(ignore the map, the pub is in the main square in Camlough).

Cheers, Thanks for all advice. I've no excuses now! Kevin, if you have any contact details for either of the men you mentioned, I'd be grateful if you could send them on,
Thanks
