What better place to launch the Lake School of Celtic Music Song and Dance than the Commercial Hotel in Koroit, surrounded by both talented musicians and eager wannabes? People were last night given an insight into what to expect from the school which will run from April 9 to 15. The camp will cater for both beginners and experienced musicians and offer personal tuition from talented Celtic musicians and dancers. Run by the Koroit Community Development Association, the school will be assisted by the Moyne Shire, Arts Victoria and the Regional Arts Fund and will be organised by Koroit riding councillor, Val Cookson. Cr. Cookson said the launch last night gave the public an opportunity to have a sneak preview of what to expect from the school. Musicians from around Australia will be appearing at the school and will teach instruments that are unmistakably Irish, such as the button accordion and the bodhran - an Irish drum. Ms. Cookson said people had responded enthusiastically to the idea, with interest from the district and Melbourne. Musicians appearing at the school include Billy Moran on the button accordion, Ben Stephenson (bodhran), Barb Scott (tin whistle), Sean Kenan (fiddle) and Vince Brophy (guitar).
