We're delighted to be able to provide space to facilitate music training in Castlebar, especially for our friends in Mayo College of Further Education!

Some of our Music students (Castlebar campus) & their Course Coordinator, Eamonn Mulderrig, pictured enjoying a very enjoyable Samba & African drums workshop with Anthony Mcnamee at Music West, Castlebar recently. Workshops like these promote team building, morale, hand eye co-ordination, musicianship and are also great fun!

A very happy new year to you all & here's wishing you all a fabulously jazzy 2025 filled with a heap of live music.
The lads & lasses of the Music West Big Band are back with a brilliant first rehearsal, some amazing new tunes ranging from Glenn Miller through to Marc Almond. We tried something new with two drummers knocking solos between them in Sing Sing Sing, this promises to be a huge success & we now have a superb baritone sax 🎷😁.
We also have a few vacancies we would love to fill:
Tenor sax (we have instruments available to rent at very affordable rates),
Trumpet &
Trombone (would need to read bass clef).
Drop me a line at [email protected] or PM me if you are interested in joining us or just want to get in touch.
