Mark Arrington Music: News

Come out to the Temperance House session - all levels welcome.

Since this Thursday is the 5th one of the month, there's no session. Hope to see you next week!

Come on out to the session. They know how to pour Guinness here. This session is a bit different - we like and encourage singing, though there are still plenty of tunes flying around.

There's some new music on the site. On The Lodge Road, an Irish Set Dance, I play all the instruments - guitar (DADGAD), fiddle, mandolin, whistle and Bodhran. "Broom of the Cowden Knowles" is from the Celtic Crossroad CD "Cunla". I play guitar (DGDGBD) and sing lead on the verses and baritone on the chorus.

Check out the pictures from the first Temperance House Session. Thanks to Suzanne for taking them.

I'm back to using my digital recorder. There's a new Irish set dance you can download in the music section.

This Thursday is the Irish Session at the historic Temperance House on State street in Newtown. All levels of playing are welcome. www.temperancehouse.com

Celtic Crossroad played to a packed house at historic Congress Hall in Cape May. If you're looking for a place to stay in Cape May, this is an excellent choice. www.congresshall.com
