Chiff and Fipple Forums

The Augusta Irish Week schedule and teachers have been posted.

Joanie Madden will be teaching the intermediate/advanced whistle class again, as well as coordinating the whole program, again this year. Brendan Dolan is listed as the teacher for the beginner class. I was wondering if any chiffers were planning on going this year. Any interest?

It's a good week and Joanie always has a bunch of good tunes to learn.

How nice too bad it's not anywhere near Florida.

Folks come to Elkins from much farther afield than Florida for Augusta Irish Week. And even though I come from a state which shares a border with WV, it's no easier to get to Elkins for me than it is from most anywhere else. Ask anyone who has been there. But - it is well worth the trip - great teachers and classes, good sessions, terrific concerts and great people. I enjoy it.

It sounds wonderful and it's really not that far from me (I'm in Knoxville, TN). It will just depend on whether I can take the time away from work.

It's not that easy for us to get away for any period of time due to my husbands job, and our dogs. He only gets 1 day in the week off and 1 day on the weekend.

Anytime we take a vacation we plan a year ahead due to his job. It sucks but what can you do?
