Welcome!
To our Steady Speed Irish Sessions Online
Throughout the year 2020 I couldn't meet any of my students in person. So, with my partner Garry, I started the online steady speed sessions. They allow all abilities of player a chance to join with others, to play our wonderful repertoire of traditional music.
18 months on, when I finally got to hear my students play live again, even I was stunned by their improvement during lockdown.
It proved what I had always preached -
Play slower to get better, faster!
We've been asked to continue our online sessions post-lockdown - and we invite you to join in with the magic of our

Every note counts.
before each session...

on the night...

* Insights and expert technical tips for bringing the music to life
* and a warm welcome from our multinational audience

we promise you'll play slowly... and get better, faster!
