Singing sessions:

INTERESTED IN AN IRISH SINGING SESSION IN SANTA CRUZ? The idea is that it would be a friendly, social event...we would meet in each other's homes on a regular basis, perhaps share a bit of food and drink, and enjoy singing in Irish Gaelic. Audrey would come prepared with a song or two to teach, and there would be time for singing other songs, as well as for solos on voice or on instrument as desired. If you think you'd be interested in something like this, please contact Audrey at 831-335-4879 or Audrey_Nickel@yahoo.com
