The Irish tunes session has been a regular specialty workshop at camp for the past three years. Sharon Pyne anchors this jam session (between 5 and 6 p.m. every day of camp) in hopes of building common repertoire beyond the yearly fiddle camp tunes. This page is devoted to audio clips and suggestions of tunes that we will play at the Irish tune session this summer. Looking forward to our carefree hour beneath the pines sharing jigs and reels!
