I was very excited to see this on the Irish Fest Web site. I caught Slide last year at Irish Fest and thought they were fantastic.

 

Do you know what level of concertina he'll be teaching? A beginner class would be great

 

Cheers!

The 2010 Milwaukee Irish Fest Summer School has instructor and registration info available online: http://www.irishfest.com/schools/summerschool.php

 

The school takes place August 16-20, 2010.

From what I've been able to find out about Aogan's class, it will be geared toward more intermediate/advanced players. The ability level of the class will probably be more determined by who's enrolled, since the school hasn't offered a concertina class in a few years. Hopefully there's a good turnout so a concertina class can be offered on a regular basis!

Aogan's book of tunes for Anglo and CDs from Waltons Dublin is very good for learning from.

 

He's also offered tuition via Skype on this forum before now.
