Sessions are led by Marina Dodgson (fiddle) and Maurice Condie (guitar). These are open access sessions, so there’s no need to book in advance, you’re welcome to just turn up and join in!

We believe great things happen when we play tunes together! People connect with each other and make friends, and we keep our music traditions alive by sharing tunes and passing them on. What’s more, playing tunes can make you feel happy, and if you do it often enough, you’ll notice that you are getting better at playing your instrument too!

It turns out that you don’t even have to be in the same place…great things still happen when we play music together, online from the comfort of your own home.

Phoenix Folk Ltd exists to promote participation and performance in folk and acoustic music, song and dance across the North East of England. We aim to be a friendly face of folk music, to help keep alive the great traditions of folk music and to encourage talent and personal musical development.

Everyone is muted, which means that you hear your own instrument, completing a trio with our fiddle and guitar. You can play the tune, or try some harmony!

Tony Becker of San Jose, California and Mark Wallis of Gloucester, England host this Transatlantic session for all interested parties on Wednesdays at 8:00 PM UK time. For American visitors, please note we are now all on standard ‘winter‘ time, so that is 12:00 PM Pacific in the USA.

Open to all who play traditional Irish music and It has the obvious limitations of Zoom in that only one musician can play at a time. But we go round the ‘room’ and take it in turns - no pressure though and the baton can be passed if you just want to listen. We just play for a couple of hours.

On a good day we have a variety of instruments from pipes to Melodeon, banjo to fiddle and it can be a good way to pick up tunes. It is very friendly and we welcome everyone. The only criterion is we try to stick to Irish traditional.

Tony Becker of San Jose, California and Mark Wallis of Gloucester, England host this Transatlantic session for all interested parties on Wednesdays at 8:00 PM UK time. For American visitors, please note we are now all on standard ‘winter‘ time, so that is 12:00 PM Pacific in the USA.

Open to all who play traditional Irish music and It has the obvious limitations of Zoom in that only one musician can play at a time. But we go round the ‘room’ and take it in turns - no pressure though and the baton can be passed if you just want to listen. We just play for a couple of hours.

On a good day we have a variety of instruments from pipes to Melodeon, banjo to fiddle and it can be a good way to pick up tunes. It is very friendly and we welcome everyone. The only criterion is we try to stick to Irish traditional.

Monty and Teresa Mortenson have been talking about doing a festival for many years. We wanted a place where we could camp, jam, and just have a wonderful time with some amazing bluegrass music playing on stage. The stage and seating area will be shaded and comfortable, the food will be delicious, and the music will be sweet! We hope this will be something you can’t wait to get back to year after year. Camping will open on Thursday at noon. Jamming anytime at camps as long as they are not near the stage.

Mountain Strings
Kentucky Sky

Back by popular demand, we now announce the next irregular MUSIC IS BETTER THAN WHATEVER, SO WE‘RE GONNA‘ DO MUSIC PARTY. This totally amicable event will be held right here, 2626 Orchard Hill Place, Lake Oswego, OR 97035. We shall enjoy each other‘s arts, talents, and self-expression.

What kind of music? It doesn‘t matter much. Whatever kind of music we can make and share, we should make and share it and shape it into something that can brighten our respective musical journeys. No pressure, no anxiety. Anyone may abstain from any rendition without having to explain themselves.

The food situation will be similar to that of previous gatherings here -- some eats and drinks will be provided by us, and all attending are encouraged to bring whatever they wish to share and everything they do not care to do without. Warning: A five-pound cat lives here. If you have any severe cat allergy, you may want to skip this one. If you know any person who would add something by joining in with us, go ahead and bring them or invite them. Alcohol only in moderation; please neither smoking nor recreational drugs in the house. For accessibility, everything is on the first floor, but there is a single step up, about 6 inches, to get into the house.

Please reply by email if any questions or call us at 503-245-4070 (Al) or 503-752-3875 (Helen) if you lose your way getting here.
