We are delighted to see this monthly seisiún returning and giving all young Irish Trad musicians across the Greater Belfast area a chance to come together to play in a open, welcoming and inclusive venue in the centre of the city.

It starts with a slower seisiún from 2pm - 3pm, and then the more experienced musicians can increase the tempo from 3pm - 4pm, guided and supported by an experienced Irish Trad musician/teacher.

The upcoming dates are:

Sunday 19 February
(No seisiún in March)

We hope to see as many young Irish Trad musicians there as possible!
