Williamsburg

The College of William and Mary Bookstore hosts an Irish music session on Monday nights from 7-9pm.

        The 1st, 3rd and 5th Mondays are intermediate/advanced full tempo sessions.  

        The 2nd and 4th Mondays are set aside as beginner sessions where we keep the tempo slow and repeat tunes more often so folks can pick up the tunes.  

We are a very open session.  We just encourage folks to be mindful of typical session etiquette.

There are some times during the year when the session goes on hiatus.  January, February , and early March sessions may be scheduled as rotating house sessions because the bookstore closes early  in those months.  

Please contact Beau Carr for more information.
