Dear All,

I've searched the forum on this without any definitive results. Would any New York-based 'Catters be able to provide pointers to good Irish sessions in the city?

Many thanks in advance,

RS

There used to be a cracking session at the Eagle Tavern, but that's a long time ago. Check it out!

The Eagle Tavern has been closed for, oh, about a decade
I think. I made it there once before it closed...hell,
I think I even played the place with the Rogues, or
maybe just with Jan, but I think I kilt them brain
cells.

Our own Liam's Brother was once the impresario there, if
I'm not mistaken.

I've heard some great stories stemming from sea song sings
there, most of which are not repeatable in mixed company.
