In anticipation of St Patrick’s Day, we will celebrate well-known Irish songs, many of which require only three chords. Please join us at our Three Chord Thursday session on March 11th, 2021 at 3 pm ET. Wear a solid GREEN of any shade!
We always start promptly at 3 pm with a warm-up, followed by our sunglasses ritual, line-up, and up to ten songs performed by volunteers who request to perform beforehand. We record and edit our song sessions to review, learn, remember, and share with the community. Join our new public Facebook Group to get the latest and greatest.
Check out these titles (with links to song sheets) of Irish folk songs. More here to song sheets that can be transposed.
