The Session >> Events >> South East Tionol 2007 with Tim Collins, Michael Cooney, Benedict Koehler, Hilary Farrington, and more!, Florida School Of Massage
We are gathering instructors as we speak. So far we have piper extraordinaire Michael Cooney confirmed, as well as Joseph Smith for reed making and maintenance.
In the past years, this event has been one of the largest in the country, offering not only the extremely beautiful weather in North-Central Florida when the rest of the country is buried under snow, but more importantly the highest caliber instruction for uilleann pipes, fiddle, flute, whistle, bodhran, guitar, and free-reed heaven.
Details will soon be posted on the southeastpipersclub.org website, and registration will begin.
Schedule will include friday night welcome party with dinner and drinks, and sessions galore followd by two sessions of classes on Saturday followed by an instructor concert and sessions, and classes also on Sunday.
As instructors are booked in the next few days, I will update the information. For questions, please contact John Maze at maze@ufl.edu, or call 352 505 6840. Gainesville Florida has its own small airport, but is surrounded by Jacksonville, Orlando, and Tampa for larger availability of flights each 1 1/2 hours away by car. For families, we are in the middle of theme-park hell with SeaWorld, Disney, Universal City, Silver Springs, etc.... as well as some of the most beautiful natural springs and kayaking/canoeing opportunities in the world.
Please mark your calendars for this pre-St. Patrick's Day Tionol!!! As more folks register, more instructors will be added.
Concertina - Tim Collins
Button Accordian - Hilary Farrington
Uilleann Pipes - Benedict Koehler and Michael Cooney
Reed Workshop - Joseph Smith
Soon to announce upon final confirmation Fiddle and Flute
Registration will soon open, so mark your calendars!!
Okay, after discussion with other members of the SE pipers club this past weekend and via email leading up to it, the 2007 SE Tionol returns to its birthplace in Florida!!!!! I am taking it back on now that I am somewhat less fettered with an unapproving spouse (bitter, no!!! not me) and plans are in the works.
March 9-11 is the time, and the place will once again be in Gainesville, FL... close to too many family attractions and outdoorsy activities to mention at this time. Now that we are under original management (with hopefull tionol momma Kathleen on board) and madness, thorough plans, documentation, and registration packets will be more thorough and clear than ever before!
Plan ahead for the spring... when you are snowed in up there in the cold white north, it will be perfect Irish Trad weather here with humidity around 60%, and temperatures to match in the low 70's - 80's. I have been informally been talking to folks here and there over the past year or so about possibly coming down, so while final commitments are not yet made due to time, this has the making of the best year yet!!
Stay tuned for more announcements here, and feel free to email me at maze@ufl.edu for questions, thoughts, or especially early proclamations of interest. This year will be more of the scale of the expertly run SE Tionol of 2006 rather than the giant of past Florida Tionol years... so as enrollment picks up, more instructors will be added.
At this point, we are beginning to confirm instruction in the following instruments: pipes (of course), flute, fiddle, squeeze box (concertina or box or both) and whistle.
Thanks for your time!!! whoo hoo!!! and yes, Florida beat Tennessee by one point!!!!
