Murphy Roche Irish Music Club

One of the joys of my life is being a part of a great group of musicians who share their love of Irish music in a weekly session or two.   When I can on Tuesday nights I drive 83 miles up to the Chicago area to join them as we play a "session" at the Irish Legends in Willow Springs, IL.  Tonight as players trickled in we began with an energetic round of reels.  I play the bodhran (Irish drum) and really love being part of the music.  Tonight we had musicians playing fiddle, guitar, accordian, flute, concertina, a banjo and moi on bodhran.  At a session the musicians mostly play for each other usually sitting in a circle.  We play traditional Irish tunes, with a song or two as well.  We love to have an audience and we had a very enthusiastic one tonight.
