New Bern, which is about an hour away from Jacksonville, has Irish music sessions on I think, Saturday nights...I'd have to check. My friend Sharon from Scotland (a clairseach player) and her husband (a fiddler) often attend. I can ask her about folk music, I know she knows some traditional Irish music players down near Wilmington...they might be doing a session or concert sometime close to our meeting date. Let me ask her!
