Don't worry, we didn't go far! The retail shop is now located in the School of Music building, just next door to the old space. You can access the shop by going up the ramp on the right side of the building.
Free Learning Jams
Irish Learning Jam
Jigs, reels, hornpipes, polkas and slip jigs. Designed to build a common repertoire of tunes you'll hear in local Irish sessions; phrase by phrase, with a call and response technique and time set aside to explore bowing and ornamentation. We begin each jam with tunes that have been previously taught, and then a new tune is taught. If you are new to the jam, let us know any tunes you already play, and we will play those with you. A link to a recording of the week's new tune will be sent out to current participants. We usually end with a lovely waltz or other slow tune.
