There is a "Celtic Jam" at the Black Horse Pub held the 1st Sunday of each month from 2-5pm (note the new schedule as of Jan 2012). All players of all levels are welcome - sheet music is OK too.
T his page is lists some of the tunes we play here in Peterborough. Mostly we play Irish tunes, keeping to a theme. However, we all like other music as well, and don't mind straying from the genre.
There's an Irish/Celtic session on Friday evenings starting at 8:30pm at Walsh's Village Inn Pub in Bowmanville hosted by Steafan Hannigan and Saskia Tomkins. Here are some details. All are welcome.
On this page you'll find tunes, arrangements and sheet music (gif/pdf), audio and pointers to other resources for the tune as we get 'em.
