Nearly all of the 100 tunes in the EATMS tune book (plus loads more) can be found on www.tradirishmusic.org.
See and hear the sheet music in the Myriad Music browser plug-in, hear and download the EATMS recording of the tune, plus links to other resources for that tune elsewhere on the web.
Check out the 'useful links' Tab on www.tradirishmusic.org for a link to a great Irish Music Rhythm Tutor.
-------------------------------------
Parking is now available in the gasworks yard if you are there at 8pm.
Please note that the yard entrance is on Irish Quarter South and this is now one way street with access from the Albert Road end.
-------------------------------------
Experienced musicians please note that the sessions are primarily aimed at relative newcomers. You are of course very welcome but please be prepared for tunes being played at a pace maybe slower than you are used to. Having said that, we are confident that the quality and pace of the music played is something that even the most experienced musicians will enjoy.

I have been learning to play harp with EATMS for the last 6 months and would like to take the next step into the session environment to help improve my confidence and learn to play with other musicians. I could not see any information on the beginners sessions on the site, would a beginner be welcome at the intermediate session? - Carrickfergus How did you hear about us? -Web |

The Slow Session started on Friday night (29th Aug) with 15 musicians attending. A great night and a great start to the season.
The Beginner's sessions will start on Wed 10th Sept. All you need is the ability to play some of the tunes from the introductory section of the EATMS tune book. We'll provide a welcoming, constuctive environment to help you begin playing with others. A stepping stone to the Friday night Slow Session and beyond.
All welcome. - Glengormley How did you hear about us? -Other |

The CARRICKFERGUS SLOW SESSIONS under the auspices of the East Antrim Traditional Music School is held approx. every three weeks, on a Friday evening at 8pm in the wonderfully traditional setting of the Flame Gasworks Museum, 44 Irish Quarter West, Carrickfergus.
Music played at session is primarly taken from the East Antrim School's Tutorial Book collection. So buy a book, get playing and come along and join us.
Remaining dates up to summer 2008 are:
Friday 25th April,
Friday 16th May,
Friday 6th June (Summer BBQ)
A 'SLOWER SLOW SESSION' is held on Wednesday's on a fortnightly basis, again in the Gasworks. These are for people who are learning an instrument and are ready to start trying to play with others. It assumes people are learning the tunes outside the session and works particularly well for those taking lessons through the East Antrim Trad Music School, but is open to all adult budding trad music players. Next 'Slower Slow Session' is on Wednesday 7th May 2008 at 7pm.
Keep an eye on this website for further dates.
Martin and Brian,

Thanks and well played to all who turned up and participated in the St. Paddy’s week-end event. Around 65 people turned up to listen, which was a great turn out, there certainly wasn’t room for many more. There was a great mix of songs and instrumentals, a very enjoyable night.
The following are dates (every three weeks) for Slow Session events up to the summer:
4th April
25th April
16th May
6th June
We’ll be back to our normal format on the 4th April after what was a rather fast rendition of our tunes on St Paddy’s Week-end. Normal start time of 8pm.
There is a great Polka set in the intermediate section of the EATMS tune book, Number 43 on page 40. “As I went out upon the ice”, “Sweeney’s” and “O’Connor’s”. It would be great to give these a go on the 4th April, so if you get a chance to practice one, two or all three of them before then, great and we’ll give them a go on the 4th.
Kind regards

The Slow Session on the 7th December last was a great success. There was a great turn out of "Friends of the Carrickfergus Gasworks Museum" and members of the Gasworks Preservation Society who enjoyed the music greatly and provided the mulled wine and food.. There was also a super turn out of regular Slow Session musicians (over twenty of us) and special guests.
There was a wonderfully convivial and social atmosphere, thank you all.
Some comments from the audience:
"I didn't know Carrickfergus could be like this, and I've lived here twenty years"
and from the chairman of the Gasworks preservation society
"It's great to see so many people coming together to do what they obviously love, being creative, and not sitting in front of the TV"
The manager and development officer of the Gasworks, Sharon, wants to say a huge thank you to all who took part. The music really made the night a success for them.
So Merry Christmas to everybody. Have a great time and we'll see you in the New Year. If you haven't been able to make the Slow Sessions this year now is the time to make a New Year resolution and join us in 2008.
We will of course restart the Slow Sessions in the New Year, probably towards the end of January. Dates will be circulated by email and posted here on the EATMS Noticeboard How did you hear about us? -Web |
