Home base while we're there will be the Beara peninsula. Can anybody recommend any pubs in that vicinity where visitors might be able to jam or swap songs with the locals? Bob Baldwin |

They have a very good blue-grass session there once a week (sorry, can't remember which night, regular trad sessions other week nights. The Spailpín Fánach in South Main Street is another good bar for sessions. Enjoy you visit. |
