Where the Irish of the Delaware Valley meet

April Session

The April session will NOT be the second Sunday--which is Easter Sunday--so it will be April 19 instead. This is good, since it will be a rehearsal for the New Jersey Folk Festival performance on April 25 in New Brunswick NJ.

Let me know if you intend to perform at the festival with us.

We'll be teaching a tune, as usual and then we'll probably try to go over a bunch of tunes with the musicians that have committed to performing at the New Jersey Folk Festival the following Saturday in New Brunswick.

I'll have maps & directions to the festival with me. You can also check their website for direcitons and site map.
If you won't be at the session, here are the details:
Date: April 25
New Jersey Folk Festival on the Douglass campus at Rutgers in New Brunswick
http://www.njfolkfest.rutgers.edu/
Performance time: 11am on the Pinelands stage
Duration: 30 minutes
2nd set: with the Irish session on the Shore stage from noon-1pm, if you can stay to do that
Arrival time: by 10:30am
Wear your Next Gen t-shirts--but be sure to wear a jacket--it might be breezy and it was chilly last year.; ▶ Reply to This
