24 Jul 15 - 07:26 AM (#3725764) Subject: BS: Dublin sessions in August From: GUEST,JTT Making a new thread for this, as people mightn't read the Narrowboating on the Shannon one. What good sessions are available for Amos et al in Dublin August 21 and August 29/30 2015? I'll bring them to Hughes's, maybe - is that still a good place for music? Is there anything spectacular on? |

25 Jul 15 - 10:57 AM (#3726030) Subject: RE: Dublin sessions in August From: MartinRyan Re Athlone/Leitrim: Sean's Bar in Athlone used to have good sessions - but is now mostly heavily amplified for tourists, as far as I know. Worth asking the staff there about options along the river. Similarly, Glasson, just outside Athlone, and The Pigeons (I kid you not), a mile or two further out, also had weekly sessions. Both excellent pubs even without music! Regards p.s. Some fourteen years ago, Josephine and I were married - with celebrations in and around Glasson! On the day after the ceremony, we and our guests started a session in Grogan's Pub, in the village, at 2 p.m. The music and singing continued till 2 o'clock the following morning, non-stop. At that stage, the pub/restaurant manager appeared with trays of glasses and half a dozen bottles of champagne! "Now, will ye go home?" sez she, grinning! |
