Member's Night and Celtic Jam
Come celebrate the end of the PRS season by joining us for mini performances, Irish music, food, and fun! We have 4 groups lined up to perform - I know I don't have to ask for an enthusiastic audience! After that, we'll break out into a big circle to play Celtic music, led by the gracious Joan Harrington. Bring recorders, whistles, fiddles, guitars, bodhrans, accordions etc. Music will be provided, but you'll have to share the notebook with a stand buddy.
We'll save time at the end for a little potluck - bring finger food of any sort - sweet or savory. I'll bring beverages.
See you on Friday!
