The Philadelphia Ceili Group's first monthly Slow Session, held at the Irish Center, went well with more than a dozen attendees – a good time was had by all! This was followed by a regular Friday night session where a few more folks joined us. Caitlin did a great job leading tunes on both the fiddle and banjo at a leisurely pace with Tom O’Malley’s guitar backing. We will be holding another session next month on the third Friday – same format. Next month we hope to have Paddy O’Neill join Caitlin & Tom.
Don't forget that on the fourth Friday our Tune Learning Circle runs from 7:30 to 9, also at the Irish Center. We will be playing through a number of tunes commonly played at our area’s sessions. Sheet music is available on the PCG website. This is a good opportunity for beginning & intermediate players as well as experienced player picking up a new instrument.

The monthly session at the Irish Center will be next Friday, June 13th, and not the usual third Friday. The Slow session will run from 8 to 9: this is a regular Irish session but the tune will be played at to a moderate tempo for things like reels and jigs that would normally be played quickly. From 9 to 11 will be the normal Friday night session.
