Orlando FL Claddagh Cottage - No Wednesday Session on 1/1/2003 - Makeup on Sunday
Scott and Vickie have told us that the regular Wednesday session has been cancelled due to the Holiday. However there will be a make-up session the following Sunday (1/5) starting a 4:00 p.m. ralph
I just received a note from Vickie and Scott that this Wednesday's session is a go. There have been some great sessions this year - things get going at 7:30 pm.
This Wednesday's session is a go - 7:30 p.m. as usual. Everyone is welcome.
Some of the regulars had a great time playing at a CCE sponsored event in Cocoa Beach Monday evening. This was to raise funds for a Habitat for Humanity project in Belfast with which one of the members is involved. - re
The word is we're on for Wednesday.
Couldn't pass this up from Scott Vocca who besides being the fretted instrumentalist extroidinaire is also the local literary force, right up there with William Yeats and William Gaines:
"...So come on out where the maid behind the bar can serve a parting glass of the morning dew. drink it like its christmas eve til you find yourself swinging on a gate, or have an urge to smash the windows which disturbed jenny's chickens and that woke the man of the house and the woman of the house summoned colonel frazer who found me lying on the gravelwalk wearing only a mason's apron. he read me the rights of man and took me to the castle to meet the boys of blue hill. they prodded me with a silver spear 'til my fanny power just about gave out and when it did it was the wind that shakes the barley, scatter the mud and O'Keefes slide. then a wise maid said your drunk - it's time to go home.
Hope to see you there........"
I personaly think he's been hitting the double jigs too much, and probably should stick to singles. re
Anyone out there live in North/Central Florida, USA? I live in Tallahassee, which has a small celtic scene and a once a month session. I am probably going to be moving to Orlando in a few months, and saw through this site that is actually a session. However, i called, but no one picked up.
If anyone out there is in the Tallahassee or Orlando area let me know.
Fear not, this session is alive and well. There's even a mailing list for it -- ask Jane at the Tallahassee sessions for Vicki's e-mail address and see if you can be added to it. I think there's also one in Eustice. I'm in Brevard County these days so feel free to drop by for a few tunes as well if you're interested.
There is indeed a session in Eustis - at the Café Capri, 31 E Magnolia Av, Eustis, 2nd Sun, 4:30-6:30 pm hosted by John and Cathy Benton. I've been meaning to ask them about posting their session; now there's a little more incentive.
Also, if anyone is interested in receiving Vicki's or Cathy's mailing lists I'll be happy to pass the request along to them. I'm a little hesitant to post their e-mail addresses here because the e-mail harvesters and the spam situation.
On another note, thesession.org has been very successful - there have been quite a few wonderful session players attend the Claddagh Cottage session from all over the US and Europe who have cited thesession.org as there source of information -- thank you Jeremy!
Attended this session as an out of town visitor a couple of times. Overall musicianship level is intermediate to strong. A little flute heavy. Good tune selection. It's almost all tunes. I think I only heard one vocal in the two nights I was there. Noisy bar, which is distracting.
I brought my travelling mandolin to this session on November 15, 2006, and had a super time. The quality of playing is top-notch, the craic was first-rate, and the food at the pub was great too. Hats off all around; long may it run.
Wednesday Session 7:30 pm 11/6/02
Sessions are every other Wednesday and are hosted by Vicki Birdfeather-Gish and Scott Vocca.

Hey Everyone,
Anyone out there live in North/Central Florida, USA? I live in Tallahassee, which has a small celtic scene and a once a month session. I am probably going to be moving to Orlando in a few months, and saw through this site that is actually a session. However, i called, but no one picked up.
If anyone out there is in the Tallahassee or Orlando area let me know.

Starts at 7:30, goes til around midnight.
Not really one for beginners, though.
Had a great time both nights.
