Starting this Friday, 10 February in the Market House, Clonmany, Inishowen, Co Donegal, the workshops will last two hours, covering two songs, with each student receiving words, background notes and a CD recording of the tutor. At the end of the series those who have attended will receive a special ITSC Certificate. Graham will also be at the Friday night session afterwards in McFeeley's bar. This will be the first of many projects as part of It’s a fine thing to sing, a project to encourage younger singers to carry on Inishowen’s singing tradition. The other singers in the series are Roisín White (March)
, Patricia Flynn (April), Maurice Leyden (May), Kevin Mitchell (June), Jim MacFarland (September), and Derek Williamson. www.inishowensinging.ie
