About
Our music education partnership with Foróige originated as part of Music Mash Up and now sees a range of youth music programmes running in Mayfield, Mahon and Knocknaheeny. The focus is on providing access for young people to learn music (rock, pop and songwriting) as part of a group in a fun, relaxed and inclusive way. Instruments include guitar, ukulele, bass guitar, drums and much more.
