Singing Seisiún
The
Cooley~Keegan branch plays host to a monthly singing seisiún.
The seisiún is always on the First Friday of the month, and will generally start singing at 8:00pm unless otherwise specified. The locations will
vary.
The songs that we sing are generally Irish in origin, but we have
had from time to time sung Scots, Welsh, English and Cape Breton tunes.
We do not limit ourselves to songs either, and we have some wonderful
story tellers, sean nos singers, and poets in our group.
We are working on getting an 'official' list of tunes together so
we all have the same version. We will also try to compile a list of
suggested CDs that these songs are on.

Most months, the seisiún is hosted
in private homes and space may be limited. Refreshments are often
provided by the host or are brought by the participants. To provide
security we do not publicly post phone numbers and directions to hosts
homes, the details for any seisiún are available only by contacting
the host via e-mail or through subscribing
to the singing mailing list. |
