Michael Miles in Ireland, 19-23 Sept. 2012

We're delighted to hear from Michael J. Miles that this truly outstanding banjo player will be making two important appearances in Ireland next month. On 19 September Michael presents his From Senegal to Seeger musical survey of banjo history at the Ulster American Folk Park at Omagh, Co. Tyrone.

He will also be taking part (20-23 Sept.) in the Johnny Keenan Banjo Festival at Tullamore, Co. Offaly - 'one of the world's most important banjo festivals where he'll be sharing his new compositions in concert, collaborating with other fine players, and conducting workshops on style and repertoire', to quote from the latest Miles Music newsletter, which you can read here.
