This is a nice bar for a couple of tunes, the standard isnt high - anyone is welcome. On sundays at 5pm-7pm (or whenever people decide to leave) The session is held out on the deck. There are also set dancers so its lots of fun. The session also runs on wed nights after set dancing classes and that one is from 9-30pm till midnight.
Update: Sunday session at the Harp rolls on... from 5-ish to whwnever everyone goes home... no longer in the deck; now 'somewhere' in the pub. Just find the music...
Visited here on Sep 14. Bar was very quite - change of ownership I'm told - but staff still music -friendly and session is still going, although most had left by 10.30pm

Is this session still going?
As far as I'm aware this session is not running any longer - please correct me if I'm wrong.

This session is going well.

All session players welcome to join in and play. Its a less formal session and we find it more fun and open this way.
