Adult Fèis
This is a gem of a weekend and has become popular with tutors and participants alike. It is a weekend of tuition, sessions and concert with some of Scotland's finest Traditional musicians. This is a small adult fèis and we keep it small deliberately to maintain that intimate atmosphere that ensures friendliness, good tuition and fun.
We like to add something a little different to our programme each year which in the past has included such activities as a magic show and whistle making. This year we ran a very successful drumming workshop with Drumfun. There is always no extra charge for these additional titbits.
The thinking caps are on here at FGA on how to make 2010 even better although we have to admit more than just a little selfishness with the Adult Feis because we are guilty of getting more fun out of the weekend than anyone else but then it is starting to feel like putting on a big party for all your friends old and new.
Until we have 2010 organised here is the list of 2009 tutors.
The Date for 2010 will be 13th - 16th of February.
