Béla Fleck to give Dublin workshop, 14 Jan. 2012

Thanks to Mike Gilchrist, whose Fickle3 Promotions is presenting Béla Fleck & the Flecktones at the National Concert Hall in Dublin on 17 Jan., for the news that Béla Fleck will be giving an intimate workshop in Dublin a few days before the concert.

The workshop is presented by Fickle3 Promotions in association with Waltons New School of Music, George's Street, Dublin 2, where it will be held on Saturday 14 January from 3.00 to 4.30 p.m. The entry fee is €25; Waltons recommend early booking, as no more than 35 people will be able to take part. During this workshop, Béla will share his experiences, demonstrate his own songs and techniques, and answer questions about his approach to banjo and his career.

Full details can be seen here, where a booking application form can also be downloaded.

Mike also announces that Dublin's own I Draw Slow will be opening for Béla & the Flecktones at the NCH on 17 January. More on this very shortly, when the BIB will be able to give a link to the full new press release for the concert, which will include details of the workshop.
