I used to go to a fantastic session there in '91/'92... can't remember what day of the week. Vincent was there then, too... lovely player. Who runs the bar now? Is Owen still there?
Sessions at the Quiet Man in Paris are fantastic !
The pub is absolutely inspiring, music is suitable for beginners on saturday at about 7 pm (beginner session) and Owen, who runs the pub, is a very nice man !
Regular Irish trad sessions every second and fourth Mondays of each month (with Vincent Blin. At 9:30 p.m.
Eoghan still leads his singing sessions on Tuesdays. Starts at 9:30 p.m.
Open sessions on the second and fourth Fridays of each month. At 10:00 p.m.
Irish music (cross between gigs and sessions) every Saturday night starting at 10:00 p.m.
Slow sessions (for beginners) on Saturdays, starting at 5:30 p.m.)
We'll have regular visits from Irish musicians throughout the year.
The best thing to do if you're traveling to Paris is to drop me an email to find out exactly what's going on and when.
Almost forgot. On November 26th we'll be celebrating our fifteenth anniversary with Seamus Creagh, Richard Lucey and Tony McCarthy. If you should happen to be in Paris that night!!!

Went on Monday May 30, 2005 to Vincent's 'no accompaniment' session, and to another Irish session on Friday June 10, 2005, which also turned out to be accompaniment-free. Both wery friendly and enjoyable sessions, lots of nice tunes at good tempos. I felt very welcome, despite speaking almost no French.
One of the nice things about The Quiet Man, a very small pub to begin with, is that the sessions are downstairs, below street level, in a stone basement whose walls are probably a meter thick. Minimal bar or street noise gets downstairs.
The Quiet Man pub is located two blocks from the Pompidou Centre in Paris, which is usually open until 9 P.M. or later. If you are visiting like we were, view Modern art, and follow it with some tunes...
I've stopped managing the Quiet Man, and as a consequence of that I will be deleting the pub's email account I was running. Since the Quiet Man's website has also gone offline, inquiries regarding music in the Quiet Man should be made directly at the phone number indicated on the Details' page.
Those traveling to Paris and wishing to find out about sessions happening there, can contact also me personally through the members' section.
The Quiet Man has been sold to a former customer of Eoghan called Franck. This nice guy has kept the spirit of the place intact and the music is still rolling there almost every nights.
- Monday (8 PM) Irish workshop (Irish Association). Quiet listeners welcome. Can turn into a little session after (from 10:15 PM)
- Tuesday (7:30PM) : irish singing workshop (Irish Association) generally followed by a singing session (from 9PM)
- Wednesday (8PM) advanced open and free workshop of irish music followed by a medium level session (neither slow nor fast) from 21:30PM.
- Friday (9PM) Acoustic musical gig (French trad., gypsy, Irish etc.) free entrance (the place is small, come early to get a seat).
- Saturday (6PM) slow session conducted by an advanced musician (changes every week).Tunes on a website. Very busy !
Followed by a very opened and mostly mad session from 9PM til late.
- Sunday (9PM) French trad and Breton singing session
The 2010 schedule is roughly the same. I just add Thursday nights with French (Auvergne, Berry) or Breton traditional music sessions. (Big and crowdy !).
Just stopped in on a Monday night, May 2010--they said the sessions only happen Thursdays and Saturdays. Too bad! Hopefully I'll catch one later this week.
Hello, I'll be in Paris either last week of July/first week of August 2010 and would like to go to a session/s. Any further news on this one or any of the others?
Thanks!

The man who owns the Quiet Man
He is a quiet man, was a quiet little boy, always singing.
A " true voice" his mammy used to say.
Hello from down under, up in the Blue Mountains.
I'm very impressed, well done.

Lovely session
I attended both the slow and the mad session on Saturday. A most welcoming group of players, and a lovely venue.
