Subject: RE: Calgary Folk Festival
If anyone is ever in Calgary, Alberta and is interested in enjoying pints over the sound of live Celtic music, there are several sessions that would be of interest:
1)a relaxed (and relaxing) session at the James Joyce Pub on 8 Avenue runs every Saturday afternoon from 2pm to 5:30pm;
2)Fionn Macool's near Eau Claire has a ripping session on Wednesday nights from 9pm to about 1am;
3)Shillelagh's Pub on Signal Hil NW has a session band that usually plays on Thursday nights from 8pm onwards.
These are the major ones that are running at the current time in our fine city, and there are also a handful of folk music festivals that feature Celtic craic in and around the city in the summer months.
I look forward to seeing some of you around!
