2008

The Turning Wave Festival will once again offer master classes in 2008 and this year we are expanding our programme to include two Pre-Festival workshops. This is a unique opportunity for intermediate and experienced players to hone their skills and learn some of the finer points of traditional Irish playing, and dancing from the best.
