The space is outdoors but sheltered (though sometimes we can sing

Please bring a folding chair as seating is limited. Also, bring some
water or a non-alcoholic beverage to wet your whistle. Please kindly
observe the no-smoking policy for the benefit of the singers.
Everyone who comes will have a chance to sing. Any song that is Irish,
