- November 7, 2007: Thanks to everyone for making the 2007 tionól such a wonderful success! We'll be back at Gavin's next year; details on dates will be posted here soon. Photos from this year's even are starting to trickle in. Check out the photos page for links.
The 2007 Northeast Tionól will be held in East Durham, New York, from October 26-28, 2007. The venue this year will be Gavin's Irish Resort and Country Inn.
We've got another fabulous lineup of instructors this year, including:
Pipes
Reedmaking
Fiddle (intermediate and advanced only)
Bios and photos of all instructors are available on the Guests page.
We're offering a scholarship this year to cover a student's tuition for the weekend and $100 toward room and board. To be eligible, you must be under the age of 20 and have been playing the pipes for at least six months. See the application form (PDF file) for details.
The agenda is posted.
Registration is priced at $115 for the weekend, with a $15 discount for registrations received by 1 September 2007. Please download and print the registration form (PDF file) to reserve your place. (Mailing instructions are included in the form.)
Housing: This year we have a choice between shared and private rooms. [NOTE: As of August 7, 2007, all the private rooms have been taken; only shared rooms are available.]
Please make your reservations at Gavin's by September 1, 2007. After September 1 they will open up any remaining rooms to other guests, so there's a good chance you'll have to stay elsewhere if you procrastinate. Here are details on the package:
- Plan A rooms (shared): $150 per
person, double occupancy (no single occupancy available for Plan
A rooms). Includes Friday supper through Sunday lunch. If you want
to share your room with a specific person, please notify Gavin's
when you reserve your room.
NEW: We've set up a blog to help you find a roommate if you need one. You can also use the blog to look for carpooling opportunities if you need a lift or want to share travel expenses. Plan B rooms (private): $185 per person, single occupancy. Includes Friday supper through Sunday lunch.[All the private rooms are now reserved!]
To reserve your room at Gavin's, contact the inn directly at (518) 634.2582 or info@gavins.com.
We are happy and grateful to announce that the 2007 Northeast Tionól is supported in part by grants from Na Píobairí Uilleann (NPU) and Culture Ireland.
