Saw this in the Casco Bay weekly, 6-9 pm on Sept. 4th. I haven't been myself; I'll call them and check if it's every week, suitable for beginners, etc.
I called today and although this was advertised as a 'Session', it's not a traditional Irish session - just live Irish music, which would still be fun, but not what it appears! Might go and check it out anyway...
I was up in Hallowell in March and walked into a fun place and sat in with the band playing, it's an open mike ... friendly and fun at The Wharf Tavern 130-134 Water Street, Hallowell, Me. 04347 207-622-9290
and also live music at: The Liberal Cup 115 Water Street, Hallowell, Me. 04347 207-623-2739
There are no more sessions at Ri Ra. They have a Thursday night "Irish" music event but it is by and large all pub/ballad/drinking song bands now. If you stop by, encourage them to get some traditional music back in there!
For good sessions in Portland, get to Brian Boru on Sunday afternoons or Blue on Wednesday night.
