Welcome to the TIMSIG pre beta web site.
TIMSIG is a website for musicians in the Gothenburg area, Sweden, who play traditional Irish music in what is commonly known as 'sessions'.
This site aim to provide information on where and when things happen,
what tunes that are commonly played et.c.
If you play Irish music, or just enjoy listening to it,
you are more than welcome to join our sessions. However, it is usually a good idea to ask the session manager how
things are run. We currently have regular sessions on three locations in Gothenburg.
The Flying Barrel, Kristinelundsgatan 3.
Map.
The session is led by a core of musicians who has played together for twenty years.
You should have several years of experience in the Irish music,
and quite a large repertoire, to sit in here. Limited availability.
Haket Pub, Första Långgatan 32.
Map.
Our session in Haket usually attract about 10-15 musicians but there is always room for a few more.
Many musicians who discovered the Irish tradition in recent times will be happy here, but some
"old timers " also tend to show up. When the session gets going it may at times keep on going
until well after midnight.
The Dubliner, Järntorget. Map.
Every second Saturday afternoon there is Irish music being played in The Dubliner at Järntorget.
It is at the pubs request a small session and participation as musician is by personal invitation only. Everyone is of course very welcome as guests to enjoy good food and drink while listening to the tones of good Irish music.
Other venues...
There are venues with spontaneously created sessions but for obvious reasons we have no idea where or when this will be. If we get advance notice we will put it in our session calendar here.
Welcome to take part in the Irish music culture as it is played here in Gothenburg.
Beidh ceol, caint agus craic againn! ;)
Other tips and info.
On YouTube you can find all sorts of things. For example, videos with tunes like:
Silver Spear,
Sally Gardens,
Jenny´s Chickens,
Mason´s Apron,
Kesh Jig,
Cooleys Reel,
Lark in the Morning et. c.
Some versions are better than others... These tunes are sometimes played in our sessions so
the videos may be well worth watching, no matter what instrument you play.

Tune Swap 1.
This is our first tune swapping event or 'Låtstuga' which is a good evening to attend for those who want
to learn a few more Irish tunes. It is also an opportunity for the more experienced musicians to pass on some
of the knowledge gained over their years of session play.
We do not sit at our usual table in the pub, but somewhat more secluded in a adjacent room. It is more
suitable for practising, swapping tunes and learn more about how the session works with rules and etiquette.
We start at 19.30.
A preliminary tune list and a agenda for the evening will be handed out before we start.
Any changes noted during the evening and mailed to the participants afterwards.
Register your interest and reserve your seat by sending an email to the address
at the bottom of this page. If you haven't played with us before, please include what instrument you play
and what previous experience you have with traditional irish music.
