well, of course there is. i am planning to go there. i won't be going into any crowded bars etc. maybe i will listen from the street. i am vaccinated and masked and will be very careful not to contaminate anyone as i travel.

I was there in 2019. IIRC, there was a bar & grill across the street from City Hall that had posters up for bands. City Hall is tucked into a hillside, and there's only one side of it with a proper street, so the bar should not be hard to find.

We had lunch there twice, and the staff was friendly.

Well I had to cancel my trip. It was just getting more and more restrictive and I could see getting quarantined for 6 months or whatever and I got all my money back so I'll go later

To Mg,
Sorry you had to cancel your trip. Must be very disappointing to have to do this.
However, if you do reschedule for a future date, here Is some information I looked up for you for folk music.

The Ship Pup on Solomon's Cane (265 Duckworth) St. John's
Newfoundland
Folk night at the Ship Pup
Folk music every Wednesday night 9 p.m.
Call for information at 1-866-576-8508`or 709-576-8508

I have never been there but at least you can keep this information to refer to if you go there at a later date and phone numbers to call.

Here are thoughts for the future: when in Ireland, I found the best place to ask about "traditional" was a hotel front desk. Another idea is the Tourist Information Office. These ideas might apply to Newfoundland.

In Ullapool, Scotland, we saw a poster in the front window of the Youth Hostel that gave us info about a festival in a nearby town. That was fun.
