I should perhaps have left it to a local to submit this one - I was only passing through Melbourne when I attended on Sunday 11 November 2007. Session kicks off 3 - 3:30 and goes for 3-4 hrs when some people go on to the Quiet Man session in Flemington. Johnny Fitzgerald dropped in to this one and sang several songs as well as pouring out some great stuff on a range of borrowed instruments. Thanks Michael and Paul for your friendliness to a shy ol' visitor!
I added this sesson after visiting it in 2007. I regret it now, as I live in Perth, have never visited the session since, and don't believe it was mine to list in the first place. As Bren has said, it doesnt appear to be running. Call the pub if you're desperate.
If there IS a new or continuing session at the Normandy, could one of the regulars put up a NEW listing please?
Friendly Session
