Aifric Boylan: The Tunes of Paddy Kelly. A renowned fiddle player from Aughrim, County Galway, Paddy composed numerous beautiful tunes – some quite well-known, such as the Corner House, and others less commonly played. In this elective you’ll learn a little bit about Paddy’s life and times, and you’ll get to listen to some recordings of musicians playing his compositions. For those who attend the workshop with instruments, we’ll learn a couple of the tunes too. Attendees will receive a booklet of the tunes to take home and learn in their own time. This elective is open to players of all instruments, and those who just wish to listen.
