Auntie Crae's Store. Hope this works and you should recognize a few players. The young lady on the fiddle is from Ireland but I didn't get her name.

I'll see a little later if I can send a picture or two of this grocery store when it is hopping.

Thanks for the responses, guys. So Beer's favourite music venue is a grocery store? Cool.

That website also looks useful.

For the benefit of anybody else who may be going, here's what else I've found:

Song circle on the last Thursday evening of the month at the Crow's Nest: info here.

A guy I met on Youtube (Newfiefiddler - has several music videos up) sent me this message:

"St. John's has three sessions as far as I know: Erin's Pub on Water Street (Friday evening), O'Reilly's Pub on George Street (Saturday evening) and Bridie Molly's on George Street (Sunday afternoon). I have been to either place to take in a session for a while now but I imagine they still have them there. "

You're going to love it!!!!!!

Try to find The Navigators or Shanneygannock playing somewhere. St. John's is full of great pubs and bands.

10pm - Open Mic

Shamrock City Pub
Open Mic

By far the best I have ever attended is at "Auntie Crae's on Water Street. It is usually a Noon event going into the late afternoon . Unfortunately I do believe it is only on Tuesday or Wednesday. Some Newfoundland Catter could confirm this.
Here is a site that you could bookmark and check on it as time draws near. Wish I could go. Winter or not.

Hello all. Is anybody familiar with what's going on in St. John's, Newfoundland? I plan to be there on a Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and maybe Thursday in late May. I'm interested in sessions, song circles, or places to hear folkie bands.

Thanks, Marion
