As far as we know, we're the only session in South Africa, so if you're anywhere within a 1700km radius feel free to drop by. The session's been going for close on 20 years now, and tradheads can rest assured that it's the reel thing.
The venues are Theresa's in Kalk Bay and A Touch of Madness in Observatory - the session alternates between the two venues each week, so send me an email through thesession.org or give me a call on +27 (0)21 4031037 during office hours.
And now, the Cape Town Irish Traditional Music Collective proudly presents: A weekly Slow Session at the Obz Community centre between 7pm and 8pm on Thursday before the proper session down the road at A/T/O/M! Hooray!
Still the premier destination for real traditional Irish music in South Africa!
Damn. They threw us out of the community centre cuz of being a noisy bunch (I'll bet it was the black-belt origami class next door that complained). But we're still meeting at people's houses and stuff.

I will be in Simonstown in April. Is there a session within a taxi ride?
