We are proud to celebrate our 10th Anniversary!
Craiceann 2010 takes place from 21st to 25th of June 2010! News: Teachers for 2010 confirmed: We welcome Tristan Rosenstock of Téada and Cormac Byrne, member of Uiscedwr to our teaching team!
Bands for 2010 announced: We are excited to announce that this years winner of the 'Best Young Irish Traditional Act' at the 'Ireland's Music Awards', Téada will be playing a concert during Craiceann 2010! The second concert will feature Éalú, a young exciting band with band members well known to Craiceann!
Workshops 2010: This years workshops feature well known musician Liam O'Maonlai, who, being a past Irish
bodhran champion may also teach at this years
event! And we are glad that bodhrán and tipper maker Christian Hedwitschak will give a lecture on tipper making and the various effects different tippers have to the sound of bodhran playing.
Welcome
You have just reached the Craiceann website, and we would like to wish you Cead Mile Failte which in Irish means a hundred thousand welcomes.
This site describes and promotes the unique bodhran summerschool, that takes place annually over five days at the end of June on the little island of Inis Oirr in Galway Bay off the west coast of Ireland. Craiceann (pronounced – “cracken”) is actually the Irish name for skin, and we felt is a particularly appropriate title for a school of drummers whose instrument depends on the hide of a goat.
