Meet the Musician welcomes Hermitage Green!

It's all go here at Sing Out HQ so we're a wee bit behind in our news! We've had loads of fantastic visitors in the past three weeks! We were very excited to welcome Dan Murphy and Darragh Griffin from the band, Hermitage Green! They came to visit all three Sing Out schools and told us about the many different kinds of music they like to play, from Irish Traditional to Flamenco. We met some new instruments; a slide guitar and a didgeridoo! You can see how Darragh and Dan used both instruments, and hear a bit more about the didgeridoo in this clip!


We were also delighted to meet Dermot Sheedy, who plays bodrĂ¡n with Hermitage Green at some of their gigs. He told us all about the Irish drum, and gave us one of the most impressive Meet the Musician solos ever! You can check out Dermot's amazing skills here! A BIG THANK YOU to Dan, Darragh and Dermot!
