So when is it then? Nice to see another UK session, they don't seem to be going on the list as much as I had hoped, but at least
we can be sure they are mainly ITM session.
Cath, mention of Foxy reminded me that I met him at the Kilkenny session in Wimbledon a couple of tuesdays ago.
Five days later I was sitting in a pub in Kilrush in the wee small hours of the morning when the session was beginning to droop, and in walks Foxy !
Quite a character ! The session instantly revived.
He was on his way from Kerry up to Letterkenny for the Fleadh.
Give him my regards at your next session.
Mike.
Many thanks to the gang over in Garretts Lane. The Fox, Charlie, Alice, Kevin and not forgetting Greg who kindly gave me a lift back over to this end of town, and others whose names escape me. They made me most welcome, despite me being off my tree! I dunno if any of youse read this site, but I'm just recording my appreciation nonetheless. And possibly apologies if I got a bit too lary for you genteel SW Londoners :+|}
A drop-dead wicked session.
I was checking up on the Tir Na Nog session site to see if there were any news on Alice the flautist and found the previous enquiry. Has anyone heard from her? I have not been to the Tir Na Nog in ages so I'm hoping she's returned there. if not, I would be really happy to hear that she's very well and impressing other lucky musicians with her powerful flute playing and expressive concertina tunes in a new pub somewhere in the world.
The website address is www.thetirnanog.co.uk - don't know if I can add that to the main page heading or not. Ignore the comments about food - that's not available anymore, though.
Alice stopped coming to the session some time ago and I believe has now moved away from London - up towards the Midlands.
Friendly
One of the friendliest sessions in London. A nice, fun atmosphere, and good music to boot.

Sorry - I forgot about the fourth dimension. I've now put in the day of the week - and it starts round about 9 or 9.30 pm.

I've just been advised that Foxy's away so there's no session this Saturday.
Back to normal next week

Alice the flautist
Anyone know where she's disappeared to? She isn't at her place of work any more.

An institution
I've been several times in the last few years. It's still going strong, late into the evenings.
