Jim Remington

Jim Remington has been involved with Celtic Music for over 25 years. Trips to Ireland and Scotland beginning in the late seventies exposed Jim to traditional music and that led to a love of the music and his studying traditional Irish fiddle, guitar and tin whistle styles. Jim has studied with a number of master players as well as studying fiddle and tin whistle at the Willy Clancy School of Traditional Music in County Clare, Ireland in 1990 and 2002. Jim played fiddle and guitar with the Greencastle Band and toured with the band for 10 years as part of the New England Council for the Arts Touring Program. Two full length recordings were recorded by the Greencastle Band during this time and a compilation CD of those recordings was released in the fall of 2008. Jim taught fiddle, guitar and tin whistle at Rockley Music in Lakewood, Colorado for over 15 years and was a director and teacher at Lakewood School of Music in Lakewood, Co. Jim has also published a book “Mostly Short, Mostly True Stories From Ireland”, a collection of thirty-one short stories about Jim’s travels in Ireland. Jim currently is teaching guitar, ukulele and tin whistle online via Skype to students across the country.
