Gearóid O'halloran

While I didn't get all the details, I believe Gearóid O'Halloran will be giving a seminar on Irish Traditional Music at Concordia University and a concertina workshop in Montreal and will be attending the Irish Comhaltas Festival at the end of March in Ottawa.

 

If anyone knows more of the details (Azalin?) please fill them in otherwise I'll post more information when I have it.
