The staff they assembled was brilliant and quite expansive. Among the instructors (and this is by no means an exhaustive staff list) were Brenda Castles (concertina), Brendan Dolan (piano accompaniment), Diarmuid Ó Meachair (button accordion & Irish language), Tommy Sands (The Music of Healing), and all the members of Altan, including Mairéad Ní Mhaonaigh ,Cathal Ó Curráin , Mark Kelly. There were also classes for dancers (held by Caoimhe Ní Mhaolagáin and Ronan Eastwood) and quite a few Irish language offerings, like Ray Mac Mánais and Vivienne Sayers, and Máirín Uí Chéide for sean-nós song.
