As Paddy’s Day 2025 approaches there can be no better way to celebrate then to play some tunes/songs together! The virtual jam session will consist of some of some popular and well-known traditional Irish tunes from bands such as The Chieftains, The Bothy Band and De Dannan as well as a couple of popular songs sung on Paddy's Day.

Following the jam session there will be a second workshop two weeks later where we will take a look at some of the tunes/songs and break them down to go over different grooves and ideas that fit the music. There is never only a single way to play a tune/song, so the goal is to come up with different ideas to formulate various grooves that complement the music. Participants are also very much encouraged to share/demonstrate their own ideas as well as ask any questions. Creating a discussion is always a great way to share ideas and discover new ways to play a tune.
