I friend of mine had the opportunity to go to Jakarta and Solo to learn about it and introduced to. It turns out there are at least 5 gamelan in Ireland, one in the West, one in the north, one in the south and two in the east. So we hooked up with those guys and learned about it. I had the privilege of playing at the Gathering of the Gamelans event in London some years back and also visited York and Oxford for training. I love it!
