Julie Fowlis will hold the workshop on singing at Féile na Tána
Féile na Tána are delighted to announce another wonderful festival on the first weekend in February, packed with workshops and performances for their eighth edition.
The festival is based in Carlingford, Co. Louth, and is renowned for presenting the finest exponents of Irish traditional music, song and dance each year. This year, due to the pandemic, they have decided to revert to an online version, offering 15 prerecorded workshops in a range of instruments, singing and sean nos dance.
This edition also brings two concerts which are free for all to view on YouTube - a tutors concert on Saturday evening and a special young musicians concert on Sunday afternoon featuring talented young players from Co. Louth and beyond.
Available workshops for 2022 are:
Each of the world-renowned tutors has prepared a video workshop specially for Féile na Tána with a mix of chat about technique, ornamentation, and some tunes to keep you busy!
The workshops are between 30 and 45 minutes long and have been pre-recorded and edited. Attendees will be able to access the video for 1 month, and can start and stop at the touch of a button.
Students can also use the slower speed button in YouTube to assist learning if required. Workshops are available for a reduced online rate of €20 with thanks to Arts Council Ireland.
