On Thursday 17th March 2022 we share Irish songs or songs by Irish artists and bands to celebrate St Patrick’s Day which falls on this day. As usual, we open our doors in Zoom 30 minutes before the 3 pm EDT start time to welcome newcomers and performers. At 3 pm sharp, we mute everyone to start recording and warm up, which is a short exercise or lesson.
NOTE: Do not miss our song session because of Daylight Savings. 3 PM EDT = 7 PM GMT = 8 PM CET = NOON PDT = 9 AM HST
DON’T FORGET TO BRING YOUR SUNGLASSES & WEAR GREEN!
Join our Facebook public group to see the latest and interact with others. Bring a friend. Check out the themes for upcoming song sessions. See you in Zoom before 3 pm EST (8 pm GMT)!
