The session usually kicks off about 9.30 and ends at 1 am. The session has been going for many years, the 2 mainstays being Tom Clarke on pipes and Andy Dixon on fiddle. Numbers vary from week to week and after a lean spell running up to Xmas, numbers have really picked up. Expect a wide variety of tunes, usually played at a comfortable pace.
And has changed hands again. Now sessions are held on Tuesday nights. Starts at 9pm, regular musicians include, Breandan O Hare (flute), Barry Kerr (pipes), Tom Clarke (pipes), Andy Dickson (fiddle) and Anne Bailey on concertina. Nice relaxed tunes, but not particularily suited for beginners although all are made welcome. Very wide variety of tunes so bring your mini-disc!!
