Gorgeous open Seisiun in Tallaght Library today. So lovely to see Uilinn Pipes played in person. South Dublin libraries have had a brilliant programme during #TradFest. You can always check monthly events for the libraries at their webpage: www.sdcc.ie/en/services/...
Picture of several people sitting in large circle of chairs, in a library, you can see book shelves behind the circle. Pictured is a man playing Uilinn Pipes, a woman playing the fiddle/violin, and a woman behind playing the piano. The other people in the circle are spectators. Also behind the spectators, several more musicians can be glimpsed, including girls aged 10-13, also playing instruments such as Boscastle ceoil, fiddle, flute, and harp.

As a further introduction (!) I want to give a shout out to the humble visual timer. I've been recommending these to adults since i worked in CAMHS. They seem to work for the neurodivergent brain, especially ADHDers who can struggle with traditional analog or digital time.
