Ceilidh

The Maleny Celtic Winter School is proud to present an enormous range of activities for participants this year. If you thought last year was big...

For your enjoyment the popular Saturday night ceilidh will be returning, the sessions each afternoon and evening are sure to get toes tapping, and the Friday night Welcome Concert is stacked to the brim with world class musicians. In response to feedback after last year, we have added Absolute Beginners classes on flute/whistle and fiddle, and classes in accordion/concertina, uillean pipes, Scots, Appalachian and Quebecois fiddle, and that's without even mentioning the return of the brilliant classes from last year.

To give you an idea of what treats we have in store this year, we present to you a list of events for the 2010 Maleny Celtic Winter School.
