It is about the simple joy of sharing songs and tunes with each other and the aim is to grow a shared repertoire of pieces that are easy to join in with and that have a wide appeal. Each week, the anchor musician will facilitate the learning (or remembering) of these tunes, and everyone is encouraged to sing or bring any instrument they might have to contribute to the sound. At the end we will compile a songbook of all the favourite tunes, so you will never be stumped when asked for a party piece! Party Piece\u2019s Irish-language version is called Abair Amhr\u00e1n and currently runs a monthly session in Skibbereen and Oile\u00e1n Chl\u00e9ire.<\/p>\n<p>Sound is a binding agent and we are all part of a commonage of sound. A community coming together to make music is a powerful way to assert our interdependence and develop a shared language celebrating place and belonging.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":39087,"template":"","class_list":["post-39086","event","type-event","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Party Peice - Creative Ireland Programme<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Party Piece is a project led by Dr.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.creativeireland.gov.ie\/en\/event\/party-peice\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Party Peice - Creative Ireland Programme\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Party Piece is a project led by Dr. Kevin McNally and funded by Creative Ireland, Cork County Council and the Department of Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht.
