Champaign-Urbana's longest-running weekly Irish traditional music session led by Jake Schumacher.
The session focuses on the traditional dance music of Ireland--jigs, reels, hornpipes, waltzes and much more--played on authentic Irish instruments including fiddle, button accordion, concertina, pipes and tenor banjo. Throughout the evening occasional songs are sung, stories are told, and often dancing starts during the second hour (sets, polkas and waltzes).
Musicians with some experience in playing Irishmusic are welcome, and those with an interest in learning to play Irish music are encouraged to come and listen, as well as all who enjoy Irish and Irish-American culture, food and drink. For more information, contact Jake Schumacher at boscapod@gmail.com.
