OCTOBER

I am working on getting the celebrated traditional Irish singer Len Graham (http://www.storyandsong.com/len.htm) here in early April 2008. He is willing to give an Irish Singing Workshop while he is in town. It will probably be in the morning or afternoon of the show date but these details have not been worked out yet.

The question I have for you is: Are you interested in such a workshop?

I do not know what he will want to charge for the workshop. I do not know if he will want a minimum or maximum number of students. All I can do is discover the level of interest. Please pass this on to any other singers you may know.

Please contact me at: pipers.hut@gmail.com to tentatively reserve a spot.

I’m a bit confused about whether a former member of Spiral Seisiún is or isn’t in this Alabama band. o_O

I can’t listen to that much Wagner. I start getting the urge to conquer Poland.
