A rare treat! There's shanty singing in New Orleans this weekend (Sunday, 11/4) at O'Flaherty's 514 Toulouse Street 504-529-1317 in the French Quarter. Geoff Kaufman, Mystic's leading shantyman, will be the feature set. Shamelessly, Ship'scat will open.

Come on out at 8PM for a modest ($10) cover and support singing TOGETHER in the Big Easy

The (almost) regular First Friday (11/2) Comhaltas monthly sing will serve as a warmup for Sunday and will be held at Mick's Irish Pub 4801 Bienville Avenue (at Bernadotte), 482-9113 also around 8
