Sinsull, I am indeed in Portland. I don't play or sing, but I sure do like to listen. I don't make the session nearly often enough, don't usually get to the Boru until 8ish and the session is over around six. However, this Sunday I'm going to try to get there to show support.

Martin from Barton, I have no idea where the M25 is. Best way to get here from your side of the pond is to fly into Boston, MA and get on I-95 and head north. Follow the signs for Portland, ME, get off on the Franklin Street Exit (it used to be Exit 7, but they've renumbered all of them and now I don't know how to tell people how to get where they need to be!) and go up the really big hill. Take a right on Fore Street until you come to a five way intersection with a statue of John Ford (the movie director, guy sitting in a chair wearing a hat and smoking a pipe). If you look to your right, there will be a two-story brick building painted red with a really big pint of Guinness painted on the side of the building. That's the Brian Boru. If you make it here, I'm sure they'd let you sing a round, even though it's a session session. People are pretty good about sharing.
