Drawing on the technical expertise of David Kinsella and Richard Kennedy they put together a virtual session which featured many of the musicians who contribute to the monthly gatherings and recorded it on video.

This can be accessed on the Birr Comhaltas Facebook and the title of the clip is “The Sallygardens in Lockdown”. In addition, David has put up several tuition pieces for the benefit of the pupils of the music class on the branch web-site “birrcomhaltas.net”.
