I went to Jersey for my birthday weekend back in the 70's, and late at night in St Helier heard live traditional music coming from an upstairs room. I went in, and found a great band playing Irish rebel songs for an end-of-season party for the domestics and hotel workers. Stayed late into the night, then back to the hotel, where I found that it was also the barmaid's birthday, so another party in progress.

One of the better nights.
