Welcome to the page of the Very Slow Session Bern!!!

The Very Slow Session Bern was created in 2018 as some Irish music enthusiasts were looking to regularly learn and play Irish tunes together. Some of us were beginners or beginners on a new instrument, so it was nearly impossible for them to play at regular sessions.

Now we meet every Thursday evening when there’s no session around Bern.
We dedicate about one hour to learn a new tune or make a refresh of specific sets (mentioned in the respective event). The tempo of the first hour is “very slow”.
During the second part of the event, we play slowly the tunes we learned in the past.

We’re in Bern but we come from further away. We’re a multilingual group (German, French, Italian, English).

The Very Slow Session is an association but there is no need to be a member to attend to the Thursday “Workshop”. It is also not necessary to come every time. One can just come as he has time and motivation to play. It costs 5 francs a night for the room when you come. An annual contribution is also possible.

Just contact us to be added on the mailing-list if you’re interested!
