Dear Reader - August is the month where all those changes you thought about for the last year get implemented in time for September!
The Big Thing
Ir really is a great time of year - it’s also when we dream up another year of exciting events for the Theme Night Academy.
We met with some of the teens recently to get plans underway - to see who they want to learn from this year in masterclasses, what’s the best night and venue for open mics, what themes they are thinking about and lots more…
So - If you know someone heading into 4th, 5th or 6th year with an interest in music, performance or simply meeting a like-minded gang of people - now is the time to take action.
Please get in touch if you know someone who may be interested.
Where else but Sligo?
I have been touring our beautiful county recently looking for new venues to host piano lessons.
And I’m delighted to be able to say today that the good people at The Old Church, Enniscrone, and St. Brigid’s Hall, Tubbercurry have found available times and rooms for our teaching team to start lessons this September.
It’s always exciting to start in new places, especially to reach new people who may not have been able to travel to our existing local venues in Strandhill, Rathcormac and Boyle.
Lessons in all venues, including Tubbercurry and Enniscrone enrolling now!
What’s New?

Till next time - Kieran.
