The ones with (?) I haven't heard of or been to recently, but I don't get around much anymore. The rest are ongoing on a weekly basis. These do not include the many sessions outside the Boston & immediate area. These are all usually well attended. Any where from 4-5 to I heard the Green Briar a week ago had upwards of 35, it wouldn't have been surprising to find there, I know Paddy Cronin & Larry Reynolds (& sons 1,2 or 3) & likely Seamus Connelly, Johnny Cunningham (beginning to sound like a fiddle session?), Joe Duranne(sp?), Bill Black, & I'm sure there where some that sat out & said the hell with it.
