OK I got a link from mark at Gram's
Pooka
Looks like they perform at Bradenton saturday nights - they may know of other musicians in the area?

Wish you had said a month ago chris
I spent quite a few nights staying at a wonderful place called Gram's Place and was aching to go and find some irish/celtic music
I noticed at least one irish bar in Ybor and wondered if there was any music there?
I didn't find any live music - though to be honest I didn't look - I was to busy enjoying the wonderful food at various places in the evening
Then relaxing back at the B&B where there is a large choice of music to listen to into the night while cooling your feet in the jacuzzi
If I get back again it would be useful to know where sessions take place.

Most of the irish sessions are in Tallahassee, I think. We have a weekly session, and two monthly ones. But with the Irish pubs in the Tampa area, I'm sure you can find one there. Doesn't Rod McDonald know about them?

Hi Chris

I don't have any suggestions for you, but here are greetings from Arizona anyway. hope you find some folks to play with- I know there are a few.

You might also check the sessioneer website and see if there are any other Florida sessions listed there, which could lead to meeting other musicians....

I found that sessiun at a place called Annie Moore's Pub a women named Mary, run the sessiun there about once a month. And yes the humidity is very! much higher then AZ. I have lived in the mountian west all my life, so this is very differnet out here

Send a Personal Message to Abby Sale. I believe he's in Florida.

He's here once in a while, as well as on the newsgroups.

He's bemoaned the scarcity of Celtic musicians out there in Florida.

I thought I heard about some sessions in Clearwater too. Try the www.foff.org that was suggested. And watch out for the humidity. It's slightly higher than in Arizona.

There used to be a great pub in St.Pete's Beach called 'The Harp & Thistle' - Booked some top-notch performers - perhaps they've got a seisiún going as well... worth checking out...

Good Luck,

M.

Go to the Florida Folk Festival at White Springs over Memorial Day Weekend. There will be plenty there. Also, check the Friends Of Florida Flok web site. They can put you in touch.

Hi there..

I'm looking for celtic musicians to play with out in the Tampa FL. area. I was in a celi band from Arizona called One Eyed Fiona for 7 years and unfortunatley my wife got a job out in FL. and I had to leave my band and mates behind :( . I play guitar, harmonica and sing. I have been able to find one sessiun out here, but it is only once a month at a pub called Annie Moore's. Its a good time, but I'm really used to playing out 3 to 5 times a week, so I'm really having musician withdrawl. Any leads or info would be greatly appreciated. You can check our music at www.oneeyedfiona.com. Cheers

Chris
