I was told about this session by a co-worker who manages part of the website for the NYC Irish Arts Center.
The session is led by Brian Conway who, I am told, is an amazing fiddler, and a very pleasant guy.
I do not know if it's an open session or not. If anyone has been to the session, and knows whether it's open to inexperienced players, I'd appreciate it if you could post your comments.
As no-one has posted to this for some years I thought I'd let people know this is still going. Popped in last week while over in NY state. It is a miked session but is pretty informal and additional musicians seem to be welcome. Music good but at a steady rather than frantic pace. Quite a quiet venue with an appreciative audience.
