One of the most enjoyable experiences at the O’Flaherty Retreat is having tunes with some of the great players in Irish music, and every evening immediately after the Instructor Concerts, you are welcomed to join them for our “Play Along Sessions.” The concept is simple — the instructors, assigned to ensembles and select rooms, will play common traditional tunes and the attendees will be invited to play along if they know them. For locations and times, see Schedule (PDF or Mobile-Friendly).
