Mandolin and Banjo at 2013 Milwaukee Irish Fest Summer School

[Dr Funkenstein]

Hello everyone,

Just wanted to make sure folks know who'll be teaching at this year's Milwaukee Irish Fest Summer School. Martin Howley of We Banjo 3 will be teaching mandolin, and Enda Scahill will be teaching the tenor banjo class. More details on the website.

cheers,

Jeff

I don't think you can go wrong with either teacher.

Enda literally wrote the book on Irish tenor banjo and has been a successful teacher in Ireland and here for years. Martin Howley is a superb musician and a great mandolin player who has a lot to offer. He too is a very successful teacher in Ireland and he contributed to the WeBanjo3 tunebook that I consider to be the advanced Irish tenor banjo work in the Scahill series (even though it isn't sold as such.

I will try and take both classes if possible (the school has a tendency to find out what classes I want to attend and then schedule them all at the same time) and WeBanjo3 is a definite "must see" at the Fest. Also, you get to hang around with them and play at the sessions if you go to the summer school.
