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.
