In case you missed it, I’ve now uploaded tonight’s session – I really enjoyed it and, as ever, learned some more about live streaming! I hope you enjoy it too. Next one is planned for 3rd June at 7pm!

Happy Friday for those who can remember what day it actually is… I have some good news! The next Squirrel Session is scheduled for May 21 at 7pm BST.

I’m getting better at using it and can now share the video which should go live at the time – so just come here at that time, settle down with a cuppa or a dram and enjoy.

In the meantime, you may have noticed a pop-up to join my mailing list – PLEASE do this (and apologies if the pop-up is annoying, I’m trying to find a better way to do it) to keep updated on what I’m up to. I’m planning to send my first message next week.

Have a good weekend if you can and take care of yourselves,

Just fresh from my third Squirrel Session, I thought I’d post the video for those who were unable to watch live – enjoy!

Hi – just a quick update to say that my third online gig (this really happening on YouTube and not Facebook) is happening on Wednesday (May 6th) evening at 7pm UK time. My channel is over at https://www.youtube.com/user/elenapiras

The previous session is now available to watch back whenever you like here:

It is also available at https://www.facebook.com/pg/elenapirasmusic/videos/

I should also add that my interview with SWIM (Scottish Women Inventing Music is now available to watch here –

Looking forward to seeing/hearing from a few of you on Wednesday night!

Hi there – I hope lockdown living is treating you all well. I’m doing OK and keeping busy recording and rehearsing for my next home gig.

Speaking of which, the next Squirrel Sessions online gig is happening this Thursday 23rd April at 7pm BST! It will be on my YouTube channel (not Facebook) here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrRwy-xlnTJ-uotEuoX3UFg/

I also wanted to say thank you to Kate Reid for kindly playing my song ‘Aide Momi Na Megdano’ on Celtic Music Radio on Easter Sunday. Check out the extract from the show here:

If you like what you hear, it’s available on my first album ‘Journey’ which I’ve recently made available for instant download or less-instant CD purchase from my Bandcamp page.

I look forward to seeing you on Thursday evening!

Thanks to everyone who watched me perform live on Faceback last week. It was so much fun, although not the same as an in-person gig of course. I’m definitely keen to do more soon – maybe on YouTube to see if that’s any better than Facebook.

Since then, I’ve been thinking about what to call these online gigs and decided on the Squirrel Sessions. If you want to know why, you’ll have to tune into the next one and ask me 😉

For those who watched and want to relive it and especially those who missed it, you can catch up on it any time you like here:

Enjoy!
