NEWS & NOTES
DIMA is back for the 2024 - 2025 season!
UPDATE ON VENUE - 9/10/24:
As many of you may know by now, FUMC is planning to sell the Green Wood building where we've been meeting for the past 10+ years. At this point, we've been assured that we will be able to continue to use the space through the end of 2024. We plan to be in a new space starting in January of 2025. We have several promising leads, but are still evaluating options and are open to suggestions. Watch this space for future announcements. In the meanwhile, we look forward to returning to Green Wood this fall!
​
We are delighted to return for another year of sessions and opportunities to learn every Thursday evening at Green Wood starting 9/12/24. All are welcome to join us at 7pm each week when a tune will be taught by one of our members, and from 7:30pm till 10pm we have an open session.

Sunday Sessions at the League
with Detroit Irish Radio
Another opportunity to make music with friends is at the Gaelic League Sunday sessions.
​
Kathleen O'Neill broadcasts the Detroit Irish Radio Show from the Gaelic League and loves when DIMA musicians come before the session at 2:30 pm to play some tunes live. After the radio show ends at 3 pm, the session begins and continues until 5pm.
​
The dates of the Sunday sessions vary each month, so look at the facebook feed to the right on this page to find the dates for this month.
