GUEST,jim bainbridge Irish but Not Scottish Sessions. Why? (86* d) RE: Irish but Not Scottish Sessions. Why? 29 Nov 24

YEs me -sorry I was anonymous- not deliberate.

Reading my post again, the more prescriptive of the two organisations is IMHO, not TMSA but CCE.

Re 'Skibbereen' I'll repeat the story-   About 30 years ago. was booked as the Irish musician (I'm a Geordie) in Annie May's bar in the main street of Skibbereen at £30 & free beer.

It was one of those awful Irish pubs which left the TV on during the music. I'd been a few times before but heyho it was a partial living!

Anyway, this time Annie May was away - when I ordered my pint & was told by the barman he had orders it was the flat fee only & no free Beamish.
So we left immediately and have never been back- hopefully it has improved in the years since?

Alex McKie of Felling-on-Tyne & Ballydehob was with us & on the way back, ironically just passing the town's Famine Graveyard, Alex burst into the appropriate song.....

   'and that's another reason why I left old Skibbereen'
