PCDC Special TUESDAY Contra dance at POLISH HALL: CounterCurrent w/George Marshall

The music corner fills with super talented female musicians and the room overflows with their fantastic music.

Traditional and Contemporary folk music.

Hosted by:
Jack Bohl (1st Wednesday),
Will Selzer (2nd Wednesday),

Previous shows available on the KBOO program page: https://kboo.fm/program/pastures-plenty.

Tony Becker of San Jose, California and Mark Wallis of Gloucester, England host this Transatlantic session for all interested parties on Wednesdays at 8:00 PM UK time. For American visitors, please note we are now all on standard ‘winter‘ time, so that is 12:00 PM Pacific in the USA.

Open to all who play traditional Irish music and It has the obvious limitations of Zoom in that only one musician can play at a time. But we go round the ‘room’ and take it in turns - no pressure though and the baton can be passed if you just want to listen. We just play for a couple of hours.

On a good day we have a variety of instruments from pipes to Melodeon, banjo to fiddle and it can be a good way to pick up tunes. It is very friendly and we welcome everyone. The only criterion is we try to stick to Irish traditional.

All performances 6-8 pm (unless otherwise extended), free, 21+.
