We are glad to announce that Katelyn Corrigan is joining our teacher team for the first time! Also, Eamon Murray returns in 2024, after taking a break in the last few years.

So our tutorial team for 2024 includes Aimee Farrell-Courtney, Niamh Fennell, Katelyn Corrigan, Jim Higgins, Colm Phelan, Eamon Murray and Andy Kruspe. To read more about the teachers, follow this link.

We will have two fantastic concerts this year. The first concert sees the return of Siobhán O’Donnell, who has been part of Craiceann as tutor for many years and will feature the Ox Mountain Quartet. The second concert features O’Gorman, Mannion, Clancy & Gough. Joe Mannion, well known to the Craiceann family through his tippermaking stall and his outstanding accordion performances during the teachers recitals will join forces with Ellen O’Gorman, bodhrán legend Donnchadh Gough and Donal Clancy!

The workshops/lectures which take place during the day between classes will be given by Micheál Ó hAlmhain himself, Andy Kruspe, who will reflect on the “Latest Developments in Bodhrán Techniques” and one workshop will feature musician, author and speaker Fintan Vallely who will tell the “Story of the Irish Bodhrán”.

Stevie Moises will bring his mobile lathe and a selection of woods, so he will be able to turn any tippers to your liking! He will be working in his workshop during the week and will be available for chats and tipper talk.
Bodhrán maker Christian Hedwitschak will bring a selection of drums and he will also be available during the week.
