If you ever can be in Boston on a Monday night, you're in for a double-barrel treat!
First, at 7 PM, you can sit-in with Boston's Original Slow Session. We play all the old favorite
session tunes but at a more relaxed pace than the usual session. All are welcome. Contact us
if you'd like our playlist.
Then, at 9 PM, Boston's longest running session (~ 35 years) takes over. Led by the local CCE
President (Larry Reynolds) and his son (Mike) the music soars until all hours. All are welcome
and you're guaranteed to hear the best there is.
The Green Briar is on an MBTA bus line or 20 minutes by cab from downtown.
I went to the 9pm session for the first time recently. Draws a sizable crowd (~20 people) and a good mix of instruments. For the first hour or two, the sets are led by Larry or a guest, and after that, they open it up to others.
The musicians are some of the original folks who brought Irish music to the states. As such, you'll find a lot of gray-haired players, most of whom dwell from the Emerald Isle.
I wouldn't mind a few more younger players (I'm in my mid-20s), but otherwise, a very enjoyable session, and one I'll be returning to.

Was in attendance last week (on holidays).
Enjoyed very much, Finbarr Doyle singing on Sunday nights is excellent also.
