Banjo lessons in Dublin

Paddy Kiernan (above, centre), former banjo-player for senior Dublin bluegrass band Fair City Grass, is available to give 5-string banjo lessons at his home in Portobello, just off the South Circular Road.

Paddy is a very accomplished player, especially in the advanced melodic styles, and has a comprehensive knowledge of the 5-string. Anyone in need of bluegrass banjo lessons should contact him by e-mail or on 086-1023093.

Update 21 Apr.: We initially thought Paddy's was the playing heard on the Fair City Grass MySpace site. Thanks to Enda Donnelly for this correction:

The banjo player on all tracks on our MySpace site was Conor Daly & in fairness to him there goes the credit. They were recorded in August 2005 at a studio in Dublin. The 12 tracks was a project I organised & produced for promotional purposes. The double-bass player was Andreas Nolan, a friend of mine of other genre. Unfortunately some time after that Conor left Ireland to go overseas. The 'Blackberry Blossom' track was a home studio project with Jody Smith in jazz style, of which he is highly qualified.
