SC Irish Arts Weekend
2010 Instructor - Tenor Banjo
Jeanne Chirdon
Jeanne Chirdon was born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio amongst a family of Irish musicians. She learned her eloquent but spritely touch on the banjo from the playing of Sligo flute player Tom Byrne. She performed regularly with Cleveland bands Tap the Bow and Smash the windows before residing in Cork, Ireland where she performed at festivals and hosted sessions. Now in the mountains of North Carolina she attracts great attention with her four string banjo!
