It looks like the wonderful song session that used to be at the Press Room in Portsmouth NH is no longer going on there. Has it moved? Is there another song session in the area on a Sunday or Monday night?

We went to this one years ago and were blown away that night.
Thanks,
Emily

Been there a couple of times myself and thoroughly enjoyed it too, Bat Goddess of this parish was involved in the sessions, I suggest you contact her for an update on how things are now.

The Press Room was closed for a couple of years, and after its renovation, there is less space for sessions, and the unique liquor license that made sessions a key part of The Press Room is no longer a thing. There are a few Irish seisiúns, old-timey jams, and pub and chantey sings in the area, though none quite capture the amazing feel of The Press Room. Drop me a line ([e-mail]) for more details.

There is also a monthly session across the river in Kittery, ME, and a first Monday session in Portland, ME, at Norve Res Pub & Grill.
