Class dates for this term are as follows:
There will be no classes on Ocotber 26th or November 1st.
The last class for this term will be December 13th. As in previous terms, we hope to organise a session before the end of the year. This is a great opportunity for our young musicians to play together and experience the athmosphere and sense of comradery at these events. As soon as a date is arranged we will inform you of the time and venue.
Classes will resume this Saturday, September 6th, in St Oliver Plunketts School, Grove Road at 9:15am. Students registering for the first time will be dealt with at 9:30am. This term classes are available in fiddle, tin whistle, flute, bodhran, concertina and button accordian.
Because of of the reduced numbers travelling to Cashel on Saturday, we have decided to go directly to Bru Boru in Cashel. We will meet up with a group of young musicians from Tipperary Fleadh at 4.30pm after which we will visit the other attractions there before sitting down for Dinner at 7 o’clock.
The Show will commence at 9.00pm and we hope to leave at around 10.30pm in order to get back home a little after 1.00am. It should be a most enjoyable trip at a very reasonable cost of €20 per Head.

The last Class of the term on the 26th April will be a Class Session and the venue will be the Parish Hall behind the Church as the School is unavailable that Day. It would also be possible to have the Parish Hall on Saturday 3rd May so that those competing in the Dublin Fleadh on the following weekend could practice. I would welcome your comments.
Just a reminder of the class dates for the January to April term.
