New Date for Trad Music Sessions at the Irish Center

Irish Traditional Music Sessions

Every 1st Friday of the Month [please note we have moved the session from the 3^rd Friday to the 1^st Friday]  from 8:00 -9:00 there is a slow session. This is a traditional Irish session in all ways except one: the tempo. You will play common session tunes at a slower than normal pace, so that beginning and intermediate players can more easily learn the tunes and join in the session. Also great for experienced players who are picking up another instrument!  A regular session sponsored by the Irish Center will run after that from 9:00 - On. For more information contact Kirsten Erwin at swampkat@martnet.com or 610-517-1462.

 

The next session will be Friday, February 5th - Hope to see you there!

Great Concert this Sunday in Coatesville

The Coatesville Traditional Irish Music Series presents
    Traditional Irish Music & Song from Baltimore with ...

   

LAURA BYRNE EGAN, BILLY McCOMISKEY & PAT EGAN
 Sunday, January 17th, 8:00 PM - this weekend!

  

Billy McComiskey, a major influence on the east coast Irish music scene, is in the prime of an illustrious career. On “Outside the Box”, his first solo CD in almost 25 years, the listener is once again reminded that Billy is the most accomplished button-accordion player to emerge from Irish America.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Laura Byrne Egan has recorded a wonderful solo CD "Tune for the Road", which received great reviews. As Irish Music Magazine reported: "it's astonishing to see the extent of her fluency and grasp of the Irish traditional flute style".
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Pat Egan is one of the leading singers and guitar players in traditional Irish music. His guitar backing displays a rare sensitivity and impeccable rhythm, while at the same time he is equally admired for his smooth, lyrical vocals.
