    This is my first ever post on Boards.ie, although I'm a long time lurker!

    A new course will be starting, as Gaeilge, this coming September as part of NUIG's outreach programme, for trad musicians/people interested in the staging or arranging of traditional Irish music. The venue for the course, I think, will be a recording studio complex in Spiddal, Co. Galway. No fees, and Udaras na Gaeltachta will fork out 150 a week per participant for the duration of the course. Pocket money..., like! I'm trying to persuade Mr. Gaillimheach to do it as I think it would suit him.

    Its no problem to promote the course, its very relevant and might be of interest to posters/readers.

    Though I dunno how many of their intended audience post on boards.ie... no harm all the same.

    I have absolutely no vested interested in it. I have nothing to do with the course, nor has any friend or relative of mine either.

    I am, however, a huge fan of the trad music sessions of Tigh Hughes' pub in Spiddal and the well-known Charlie Lennon, one of the course lecturers, is involved in those. My husband, who is musical, is considering doing the course at the moment.
