That moment when you organise a concert for the first time in 8 years, and the drummer, who you've never met before, says "So, what did you have to do with Cloughtoberfest?".
Mind Blown, Memories Engaged. It feels like a sign.
So tell me... would any of you Gypsy Jazzers fancy a trip to County Clare?
(BTW, if you can't wait, you can come and see festival regular Ian Date here in Kilrush in April - details at https://www.eventbrite.ie/.../de-ziah-and-date-in... )

Lovely memories from the last year of Cloughtoberfest. Photo credits to Nicholas Ryan-Purcell and George Butler, with thanks xx

Check out our at-a-glance programme below for a guide to what's on where and a map of all the venues... although of course, there's lots of extra stuff happening too, because we like surprises! Safe travels everyone, and here's to a wonderful weekend... see you soon! (BTW... first person to spot the stupid misprint gets a free beer from me).

Wonderful tutorial sessions coming up with Tcha Limberger .
Free of charge, donations welcome.
Read Tcha's full post below for details.

Hello everyone.

In about two weeks I will start making weekly appearances in a workshop / masterclass format to talk about, and demonstrate on numerous instruments, styles of music to which I seem to have gained some knowledge over the years… something that is asked of me more and more.

For my own practical reasons this will be on ‘Google Meet’ which I’ve been using for various festivals, workshops and lectures. I will start in about two weeks and publish the date and link here soon on facebook. The time will be 14h00 European time.

I have chosen the initial two subjects; On violin a Romanian tune that I am working on at the moment, and on guitar, fills over a tune like China Boy or Avalon.

However the subjects of these sessions I would mostly leave to you to suggest here on facebook.

There will be no formal fee for these sessions but I would ask that if you do feel they are of some benefit to you, you can make a donation to the paypal link that I will make apparent.

I hope this will be of interest to some of you. I'll try to cover a lot of different themes, ones that for the last year I've been unable to communicate, and am looking forward to being in touch with you all very much.

Tcha
