This group is about getting together to learn and practice Irish Session Tunes, and to listen to Irish Music. I find learning tunes at sessions to be impossible, and while it is enjoyable to learn and play music at home, it would be fun to get together with others to play occasionally. I started this group to see if there are others like me. To start, we are meeting once a month to play tunes at a fairly slow tempo. Because the goal is to learn tunes and to practice playing with others I'm gue …

You don't need to bring a partner because we mix it up for each dance. It's great fun and great exercise. You'll meet people from many walk …

I started this group to connect with fellow Irish countrymen and women in the Hartford area and beyond. Suggestions welcome.
