Flute

Julie Davis
Get your summer off to a great start! If you've always wanted an instrument
you can carry with you wherever you go, the backpacker flute is your
dream come true! These hand-crafted easy to play flutes are specifically
designed to be compact, lightweight and virtually indestructible. To make it
even better, they are constructed with the "less musically experienced" in
mind - you literally cannot play a bad note! Julie will teach you how to play
this beautiful and fun instrument, and you'll be making music by the time

Bring your instrument and your Celtic tunes and let's see what happens.

The Kansas City Irish Center is located inside Union Station. Parking is free for musicians in the parking garage just west of the station thanks to the Irish Museum.

The Irish Center is on the lower level of the station just at the bottom of the escalators. We play mainly 'pure drop' Irish traditional tunes every third Sunday of the month. Occasionally we play for the Driscoll Irish Dancers - check the Irish Center website for dates: http://www.irishmuseum.org/
It is a great space and a great organization.

Location

This can be a power session with up to 15 musicians sometimes. Very common to see 6-10. We play mainly 'pure drop' traditional irish tunes. ***The craic is mighty***

The Gaf has good food, drinks and a very supportive landlord.

There is always a good crowd of punters, including a bevy of lovely ladies who come for the tunes, drinks, dancing and who generally like to get out of line.
