Hi all,

I'm looking to start learning banjo - Does anyone know where I could look for a few lessons?

Of course Ill need to buy an actual bango but I wouldnt mind doing a few lesssons first to see if it was for me.

Any info appreciated!

Ask the musicians playing in the pubs and/or check notice boards in Arus na Gael and Crane bar.

Tenor or 5 string?

5 string (me thinks) although I could be educated on the difference

5 string banjo has the high g string that starts 5 frets up the neck, used mostly in bluegrass music, tenor banjo is 4 strings and more common in Irish folk music

There are beginner classes called Dusty Banjos with 1 session a week. They used to be run out of Monroes or the Crane but I think now they are in Richardsons on Eyre Sq.
Ask in there.
