We have sessions at Molly's twice a week- on Mondays and Wednesdays. These are more like gigs and not opened sessions. On Mondays there's only instrumental music, and the performers are: Ehud Natan (Irish Bouzouki. Mandoline), Shani Kombelis (Flute, Whistles). Nitzan Shahar (Bodharn and percussion) and Yours Truly--Netta Hibsher (Low & Tin Whistles).
On Wednesday, the gig is dedicated also to vocal music (Irish traditional songs) and the ensemble is a bit different: Ehud Natan (who also sings), Shani Kombelis and Eitan Glickman (Guitar and vocals).
I've been meaning to come in and comment about this lovely session, and thank the musicians for a great evening. I was visiting Israel in October, and right before I left I thought, "hey I wonder if there's any sessions in Israel?" And who knew I would encounter such an authentic Irish pub experience there in Tel Aviv?! I went on a Wednesday night, and whether it was technically an open session or not, they kindly let me in with my whistle. From the moment I walked in the door, everything was right - the looks of the pub, the dark-yet-family atmosphere, and definitely the players were top-notch, yet not exclusive, and even a few songs were sung by an older gentleman while the crowd quieted a bit to listen. So if any of you who frequent this session read this - THANKS! It was as pleasurable as any session I've been to here in Chicago.

Friday Afternoons
These are less crowdy, more open for beginners, highly recommended!
