This year our Banjo Workshops were held at Tubbercurry GAA Club facilities on the Sligo Road.
As with other instruments introduced in mnore recent year to our programme of Workshops, the banjo has become increasingly popular and last year we introduced Beginner Banjo, taught by local musician Sinead Johnston, which was very well received.
Students with experience ranging from Improver to Advanced are also catered for.
