We're happy to announce the eighth Friday Harbor Irish Music Camp, March 9-15, 2009, in beautiful Friday Harbor, Washington. We're now taking registrations for classes in fiddle, flute, concertina, bouzouki, guitar, singing, mandolin, tinwhistle, ear training, and Irish ensemble. The camp website is at http://www.fridayharborirish.com with details about this year's camp, registration information and more. Please note that class selections must be made online, rather than on the registration form, and registrations won't be confirmed until that step is done.
Tuition remains at $675US for full-time students who register and pay in full before Jan. 1, 2009, after which it will be $690US. This includes tuition for classes, lodging, meals, and admission to concerts and other evening events. The camp will be a total of 5 class days and 6 nights. Please keep in mind that we try to keep class sizes small, so some classes filled up early in previous years and we had to stop taking students in those classes. We have some new additions to our teaching staff this year, plus some new class offerings, including special two-hour workshops on Saturday for weekend visitors and locals. (These are free to registered students.)

We hope to see you all at Friday Harbor in March; please email Dan or Randal at fridayharborirish.com with any questions and we'll try to answer them promptly. Also, if you log on to the camp discussion board at http://fridayharborirish.com/comhra/ you can ask people who've been to the camp about lodgings, food, music or anything else. It's been suggested that this discussion board could help people in terms of traveling together or sharing lodgings at the camp. The camp website is updated with this year's registration and other information, and can be found at http://www.fridayharborirish.com
