What is happening?

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. Absolute Beginners classes on flute/whistle and fiddle were enormously popular last year, and return this year. We also bring you classes in accordion, Scots, Appalachian and Quebecois fiddle, and that's without even mentioning the return of the brilliant classes from last year. And to make sure we've got everyone covered, we even have a class in accompanying tunes!

To give you an idea of what treats we have in store this year, we present to you a list of events for the 2011 Maleny Celtic Winter School.
