High standard of music, welcoming pub. Tom the owner is a Clareman. Anyone who is active in the Traditional music scene around London and the South will probably have played here and it attracts patrons from much further afield.
Starts at around 9.00, probably not the best place to go if you are a beginner!
This session is still going strong! Tom told me that they have only missed five Mondays in fourteen years. It appears to me that he only runs the pub so he can have a great session every week.
Tom personally sees that all musicians have beer and food.
Last Monday, there was a large group of excellent musicians, some of whom packed up between 11pm-1am. Then Mick McGoldrick arrived (after performing at the Albert Hall) with a couple of others, and the energy soared back up again. I left at 2:00 and there was no sign of winding down.
