Chantey Ranger, Paddy Burke's singers session at 132 Portland St, 3rd floor, Boston near North Station, starts around 9:30 - 10 & goes to midnite - 1am on Wednesdays. We'd love to hear a few chanteys, & may even sing one or two. I'm going to the Mystic festival, & Barry probably is too.

Aoife, We had some fairly young people at Paddy Burke's a few weeks ago, & a bartender noticed them going upstairs & came up & carded them. Only one was under age, but it was a special occasion, some people from Ireland, some family members, & we are sort of a private party upstairs, so they just stearnly said no liquor for the underage person. I'm sure that was very much the exception. Bars are very liable these days & are supposed to card everyone who looks under 40 or something ridiculous like that. What happened to the days when underage people were allowed in but were stamped & had to wear an underage bracelet?
