Chiff and Fipple Forums

Thats the way to do it, they will charge full price if they can get away with it but if you hand them 1.50 after the pints pulled they can't really do much.

Padre, I find the pints vary in there I have gotten amazing pints but I have gotten ones that were nearly undrinkable as well. I think it depends on the barman you get it off of and how busy the place is.

benhall you'd be welcome to come to my session as well if your ever in Dublin on a Wednesday night.

Looking forward to meeting another Chiffer in the flesh Mahan. I think I have seen the concertina woman you speak of shes out there all the time.

Unseen, I left the priesthood quite some time ago. I usually drink bottles of beer, never pints. Its safer, believe me. The Guinness is always top notch.

Did you ever get your McGee flute or are you still playing the Martin Doyle ?

I haven't gotten the McGee yet so I'm still on the Doyle. I emailed Terry not too long ago for an update, but I haven't heard back yet.

How did it go last night ?

Well, I had a great time. I played with two guys from France in the back of O'Donoghue's. They had just flown over to Dublin that afternoon and stumbled into the pub for something to eat but were talked into playing some music by some patrons of the pub. They finally got something to eat, and that's when I heard the regular session starting up at the front of the pub. So, I moved up to the front. I was welcomed, and I introduced myself to Unseen (a fine flute player). I left kind of early (11:30 I think) as I had been walking around Dublin all day and was exhausted. One of the French guys was just starting to play some on his whistle. I played a few of my tunes, but as usual I didn't know a lot of the tunes being played. I was familiar with some. Nice session with pipes, whistle, flute, guitar (song) and bodhran. I think I may have left just as the session was really getting underway.
