Dive into The Sugarloaf Sessions!

The Sugarloaf Sessions is a year-round learning experience for adult players of all traditional Irish music instruments who want clear structure, steady progress, and a supportive community.

Designed by Tim Doyle and Rachel Duffy, and supported by an extended team of outstanding traditional musicians, the experience focuses on purposeful session playing, curated tune learning, and confidence-building, all delivered through the TuneClub app. Whether you’re returning to music, strengthening your session skills, or looking for a more focused way to learn tunes, this is a flexible pathway that fits around real life.

Monthly Tune Drops – carefully curated audio, video, and notation, released throughout the year

Monthly Digital Meet-Ups – live online sessions to explore the tunes, ask questions, and stay on track

Optional live experiences

Monthly in-person sessions in Bray, Co. Wicklow (optional)

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by too many tunes, unsure how to progress, or hesitant to join sessions, The Sugarloaf Sessions gives you the structure, clarity, and encouragement to play with confidence.
