Wednesday sessions are from 8pm onwards & the Sunday sessions are in the evening(5-8pm).
A new session in Brooklyn! Brooklyn has been starved of Irish sessions but no longer! Ceol is a new Irish bar with a great atmosphere, superb food and friendly people. Among the many New York players that frequent the sessions are Tony DeMarco(Fiddle), Fionn Ó Lochlainn(Guitar), Isaac Alderson(Pipes, Flute) etc.
I had a great time at this small acoustic session when I was visiting a friend in Brooklyn last week. I got there on the late side and it was winding down. Tony, Fionn, and a Bodhran player were kind enough to stay for about another hour after I arrived. They were a joy to play with and really worked to include me and my limited repertoire.
Just wanted to let people know the new times for the trad session ~ every Wednesday night 8.30 ~ 11.30pm & Sunday evening from 5 ~ 8pm.
Ceol(meaning 'music' in Irish) is a great bar with cozy atmosphere and tasty food. The Sunday evening sessions are in the back room(which has great ambience). It's a great family session.
The Weds night session is up the front(where the craic is;)
Some of the Irish musicians that frequent the session include; Tony De Marco, Pat Mangan, Ivan Goff, Isaac Alderson, Don Mead, Pio Ryan, Sean Clohessy, Anna Carlton, Jason Cade, Tes Slominski, Donal Clancy, Laura Feddersen & Doug Lammer....the list go's on etc...
The session is open to advanced or intermediate musicians who know Celtic tunes. In other words, it is not a beginner’s session, although beginners are most welcome to listen & join in on tunes they know.
Ceol is situated on Smith Street @ Warren street in Carroll Gardens(nearest subway is Bergen Street on the F or G). It's very quick & easy to get to from the Manhattan.
The session on Wednesday no longer exists (at least in my visit it was replaced by two guys singing Irish standards... not traditional music).
I sat in on a Sunday session and was floored by the musical skill on hand! Over the course of three hours, 3 phenomenal fiddle players, 1 concertina, one flute, and 2 very accomplished guitarists joined to make a great session.
I sat in on bones, occasionally adding to the mix. Good time!
