Irish Tunes Session at Hostel Café, Portland

Location

NW Portland Hostel Cafe | Portland, OR

Let's play some Irish tunes together!
All players of traditional Irish tunes are welcome. We aim to keep the tempo moderate at the beginning of the session, then let it pick up later. If you just want to come and listen while you enjoy the cafe's great food and drink, you are very welcome too.
Here is a video with highlights of some of our sessions:

The café’s menu has a good selection of hearty or light foods and hot and cold beverages. The tempo of the tune playing is mostly moderate, with ample time at the end of the session to pick up the tempo. Guests of the Hostel Café and the adjoining Portland Hostel are likely to settle at one of the nearby tables to enjoy the music.
Time: The session starts at 1:30 p.m. and typically runs until 4:30 or later.
Parking near the cafe will be free on Sunday.
The Music: Most of the tunes at the session come from the Irish traditional repertoire. The tempo is mostly moderate but may pick up to a faster tempo occasionally, especially at the end of the session. The TrailJams Irish Session Tune List will give you an idea of some of the tunes that might be played at the session, as will the TrailJams Tune of the Week collection.
