Hey Y'all!
We're holding our next Trad Irish Slow Session at Old Songs TONIGHT MARCH 16, 2022 if you are vaccinated (both doses), and preferably Boostered as well, and wear a mask. The session is held on third Wednesdays at the Old Songs Community Arts Center 37 South Main St.,
Voorheesville, NY 12186 7:30-9:00 PM Cost: $5 per person Leader: traditional Irish fiddler Hilary SchraufWe'll be in the big upstairs room and we will spread our chairs out. Feel free to bring a music stand. There are some available to use. Learning by ear is preferred but over the years we've found that using sheet music to give everyone a jump start helps tremendously.
Below you'll find the list of tunes for tonight, links to tune pages, and the three set lists we've been using. You're welcome to join us at 7:30 on Wednesday, March 16 to play tunes off of tonight's list. Cost is $5. Led by Hilary Schrauf, Irish Fiddle.
As far as I know we're still requiring vaccination for individuals in the building, and masks are still required. I think as long as we give each other some room, our whistle and flute players can come back.
