!NEW! Slow Session in Chicago (USA) Area

Post by glauber »

Murphy Roche Irish Music Club will be hosting a "slow session" for learners of all levels, Wednesdays, 7:30 PM, beginning May 5, 2004.

Here's more information:

For directions to the Kerry Piper:

These are open sessions, free, no registration needed.

If you're in the Chicago area, this is a great opportunity not only to learn the tunes and how to play in authentic Irish style, but also to get involved with a very friendly group of musicians. See you there?

Tell us something.: I've been playing whistle for a very long time, but never seem to get any better than I was about 10 years ago. I'm okay with that. :)

Yes. Hopefully it will blend smoothly into the "real" session, which really tends to get started around 8:30, so i expect we'll have more like 45 minutes of slowness.

I don't think so, but i'm so bad with names, that it's possible! Who's she?

Also, just to give credit to the right person, this slow session is the work of Tony O'Connell, our infatigable and certifiably Irish (or is it just certifiable?) button accordion player.

Erin is a flute player who lived here until last year when she went back to chicago.
Her husband is Casy...red hair, bodhran player, sometimes whistle.
She plays a 6-key Cotter that she bought from me.

They were there at the K.P. once (at least once when i was also there). I was happy to see the Cotter, a mirror image of mine. Much better played than mine, though. They did some great flute/whistle duets. I haven't seen them since; they may have got attached to one of the many high-level sessions in Chicago.
