Mayo island's harp festival is teaching the world

While it is fantastic to see restrictions easing across many sectors of society, we look forward to the time when music events can take place in person.

Over the last number of months Achill International Harp Festival is delighted to have been able to keep harpers from around the world engaged with music through a hugely successful online tutorial series.

A new set of online harp tutorials has just been launched as part of this series.

Suitable for anyone from intermediate level upwards, these tutorials are the perfect chance to learn a new tune or pick up some new technique tips.

All this in your own time, at your own pace in the comfort of your own home.

This set of tutorials features Irish harpers, Laoise Kelly and Eilís Lavelle and Colombian harper, Diego Laverde Rojas.

Tutorials can be purchased individually for €15, or as a set of all three €40.

Once purchased they will be available to view until July 18.

Enjoy and keep harping!
