THIS IS A BRAND NEW SEISSIUN, SET TO LAUNCH ON SATURDAY, MARCH 6 AT 4:00 PM. For this launch, there will be free snacks for musicians and patrons. There will also be available pints of Guinness @ $2.75 ea. for patrons and, of course, free pints for musicians. Eamonn "Ed" Dillon is our spiritual and otherwise honored session leader. Ed is a fiddle player from Country Clare, Ireland and resides in Buffalo. The sessiun contacts are Mark Warford, Tim Herring, Sara McClelland, and Brendan Brown. Although the skill level listed is "intermediate," there will regularly be more accomplished musicians playing and occasional masters. However, this is a traditional open session -- all levels of musicians are welcome and will be encouraged and taught in the Irish way: by Ear. Eist! Nietzsche's is the LEGENDARY live music club in Buffalo and has been for decades. Owner Joe Rubino is pleased to support this seissiun and we thank him for that. Buffalo Irish musicians particularly encourage the sessioneers from the Rochester, NY and Toronto, Canada branches of Comhaltus to join us for this sessiun. Musicians from all other areas are of course invited. Failte!
FROM EAST OF BUFFALO: Head West on I-90 (NEW YORK STATE TRWY) (Portions toll); Merge onto NY Route 33 West (KENSINGTON EXPRESSWAY) via exit number 51W toward BUFFALO; Take the GOODELL STREET exit toward ROUTE 33 West; Stay straight to go onto GOODELL STREET; Turn RIGHT onto NY ROUTE 5 (MAIN STREET); Turn LEFT onto ALLEN STREET.

Traditional Irish tunes and songs (Sean-nos and English Language). The Buffalo Comhaltus branch is named for the late and great Irish fiddle player Martin Wynne, who lived, played, and passed on in Buffalo -- thus we play the reels he composed and played.
We play the standard session reels and jigs -- plus we are interested in lesser played tunes and some new compositions (i.e. "Roaring Water", by Altan).
I was going to be in Buffalo NY over the weekend to bring my son to school. Decided to check "The Session" website to see if there was a place to play. I found a session at Nietzsches on Saturday, and decided to check it out. I was welcomed by some great people; Mark, Natalie, Ed, Ann, Jean, and Frank. I had a great time playing with them and they also invited me to play at the Irish Arts Festival in town that weekend. Thanks alot to you guys, I had a ball. I hope to see you again the next time I visit my son. If you happen to be in Buffalo on a Saturday check it out. Thanks also to this great web site for the information. It Works!
