July Fiona's Jam Tunes

Smaller turnout this month, but a good time was had nonetheless. Thanks to everyone who came out, especially the new faces!

We had a new group come in for the “teach a tune” section of the Gaelic song circle, so we got to teach Brochan lom and ’S ann an Ile fresh! After we went freeform, several more songs in Gaelic & Scots were sung: 

Ba mo leanabh
Wee cooper of fife
Là dhomh ’s mi am beinn
Women of Dundee
