Typos

Sorry about the typos in the list above - if some of the tune
names seem odd, I probably misspelled or mistyped them.

The Tues. night one really doesn't get going until about 8.45
now (Nov 2011).

The Sun one roars along from just before 5:00pm until 7.30 ish,
sometimes going as late as 8:30

# Posted on November 27th 2011 by Hup

Still going strong

Both these sessions are still going strong. The Tues
one can be pretty sparse with only 2-3 people sometimes.
The Tues one is slow paced with lots of chat and a few songs.

The Sun one is full on - ceili band pace most of the time.
