Doors will open 7-30pm for the early birds.  Again we will be running through the introductory section of EATMS Tunebook.  We will also continue with our focus on the Comhaltas Foinn Seisiun TuneBook One Tunes.  So get stuck into those.  Also plenty of time for open session during the second half of each evening.  Look forward to seeing you all there. 

Don't forget to make good use of Brian Pundyke's website at http://www.tradirishmusic.org  

This has ALL these tunes available in every format you need to play along with at any speed.  And tunebooks will be available to purchase at the sessions for those who prefer hardcopies.

-------------------------------------

All of the 100 tunes in the EATMS tune book (plus loads more) can be found on www.tradirishmusic.org.
See and hear the sheet music in the Myriad Music browser plug-in, hear and download the EATMS recording of the tune, plus links to other resources for that tune elsewhere on the web.
Check out the 'useful links' Tab on www.tradirishmusic.org for a link to a great Irish Music Rhythm Tutor.

-------------------------------------

Parking is now available in the gasworks yard if you are there at 7.30pm.
Please note that the yard entrance is on Irish Quarter South and this is now one way street with access from the Albert Road end.

-------------------------------------

Experienced musicians please note that the sessions are primarily aimed at relative newcomers. You are of course very welcome but please be prepared for tunes being played at a pace maybe slower than you are used to. Having said that, we are confident that the quality and pace of the music played is something that even the most experienced musicians will enjoy.

I have been learning to play harp with EATMS for the last 6 months and would like to take the next step into the session environment to help improve my confidence and learn to play with other musicians. I could not see any information on the beginners sessions on the site, would a beginner be welcome at the intermediate session? - Carrickfergus

The Slow Session started on Friday night (29th Aug) with 15 musicians attending. A great night and a great start to the season.

The Beginner's sessions will start on Wed 10th Sept. All you need is the ability to play some of the tunes from the introductory section of the EATMS tune book. We'll provide a welcoming, constuctive environment to help you begin playing with others. A stepping stone to the Friday night Slow Session and beyond.

All welcome. - Glengormley
