The Northeast Tionól

Held (almost) every year since 1986, the Northeast Tionól is a weekend of classes, workshops, and concerts focusing on the Irish uilleann pipes and fiddle.

The 2023 Northeast TIonól will be held from October 13-15, 2023 at Gavin’s Irish Country Inn in East Durham, New York. Gavin’s is already sold out for accommodations for the weekend; please try the Shamrock House in East Durham, the Rose Motel, or the Blackthorn Resort.

We are thrilled to announce our instructors for 2023! Bios and photos are on the Instructors page; details on workshops and the schedule are on the Details page. Online registration is now open; see the Registration page for details.
