Sunday, 20 February 2022, 10.30am

Renowned song-writer, singer and virtuoso of the 6 and 12 string guitars, Gerry O’Beirne has toured the world as a solo artist while also performing with many well known musicians and groups including Andy Irvine, Kevin Burke, The Sharon Shannon Band and The Waterboys to name just a few. Gerry has also performed at the White House, opened for the Grateful Dead and has played electric guitar with Marianne Faithfull. Many of his songs have been recorded by well-known artists on the Irish music scene including Mary Black, Maura O’Connell and of course Muireann Nic Amhlaoibh

The Winter Weekend’s team of tutors is made up of internationally renowned performers with proven track records as teachers and educationalists. The primary means of teaching and learning will be ‘by ear’ with an emphasis in the less experienced classes of assisting pupils to develop oral/aural skills in addition to instrumental competency and developing core repertoire.

All classes are designed for intermediate to advanced (minimum 2 years instrument experience) adults and children over 6 years of age, with the exception of the Traditional Singing Classes (no experience required) and Whistle & Sing.
