In this workshop Matt Cranitch and Eoin Ó Riobhaigh will introduce the fiddle and uilleann pipes, explain how they work and demonstrate how they are played.  In addition, the various different kinds of tunes and rhythms featured in Irish traditional music, such as jigs, reels, slides, polkas, hornpipes and slow airs will be outlined.  To conclude the workshop, they will play a few sets of tunes together, in effect making the occasion both a class and a concert.
