Christmas comes early as IAK brings you a full calendar of December events

We’re running quite a lot of events this December and we hope that you have time to come along to one (or all of them).

First up this weekend we have the December Irish Session Jam which will be at Freeport in Hongdae, on Sat Dec 8th at 17:30. This is an informal gathering of musicians playing and celebrating their common interest in a relaxed manner with an audience who likes to listen to good music. More details here.

The following day (Sun 9th at 13:15 near Hapjeong station) there is a opportunity to learn some traditional Irish step dancing. This hour long class is designed for complete beginners. All you need is some comfortable shoes and clothes. Come along, meet new people and learn some Irish dancing! More details here.

Mighty night it was (who remembers the Late Late Show theme tune…?). Cheers to all who came, the musicians (Ben Rowe and David Holden, and Dara Sheahan), the Wolfhound (for the venue and spot prizes), the Irish embassy (the other spot prizes) and to all the folks who volunteered on the night to make it work. And to Sean C for the IAK stamp. Some photos (courtesy of Shauna), apologies if you have seen them on Facebook already.
