In 2025 our Banjo Workshops were held at Tubbercurry GAA Club facilities on the Sligo Road.
As with other instruments introduced in more recent years to our programme of Workshops, the banjo has become increasingly popular thanks to the great teaching going on year round in this whole regioand last year we introduced Beginner Banjo, taught by local musician Sinead Johnston, which was very well received. This year Jarlath Brennan will be at the helm for beginners and improvers, teaching alongside Pat Sweeney and Kerrie Herrity.
Students with experience ranging from Improver to Advanced are also catered for.
