Sunday
Session: Keegan’s pub http://www.keeganspub.com/ This session is fast and will have the top players from the area. It has a Ceili dance style and rapid fire tunes from 6-10:00. Top artists like Paddy Keenan, Tom Dahill, Laura McKenzie, and the boys from Five Mile Chase are found there when they are in town. The first pint is free and a fry-up comes out at around 8:30.
Monday
Session: Molly’ Quinn’s http://www.mollyquinnsirishpub.com/music.html This one tends to be more intimate and lean toward the pure drop with Martin McHugh of Co. Clair sitting court. It begins waxing from 8ish and wanes till closing 12ish. I am not clear on the drink situation so you should ask.
Tuesday
Band Practice: Brian Boru Irish Pipe Band http://www.brianborupipeband.com/ 6:00 lessons 7:00-9:00 band practice. Free pipe and drum lessons. A great part of the Irish culture and a nice group of people.
Wednesday
Session: Kieran’s Pub http://www.kierans.com/ This is the oldest session in town right now. Many established players come and it morphs according to who is there. People like to say it is a fast session and it does get pretty ripping later on. Drink is free and excellent dosh comes out at 10:30 or so. Count on a late night.
Thursday
Those of us who have them reacquaint ourselves with our families.
Friday
Session: Molly Quinn’s http://www.mollyquinnsirishpub.com/music.html Friday is sort of taking on the slow session that used to run at O’Gara’s. Molly’s has an eclectic draw and you could hear the Soggy Bottom Boys one night and Jazz another so we are the “Celtic night” on the calendar.
Saturday
Ceilis: Dubliner Pub http://www.darkwatermusic.com/dubsched.html First Saturday of the month from 2-5. Play in a pick-up band for dancers. Great fun and a chance to do what all the practice is about. This moves FAST!! You will be playing long strings of jigs and reels with the occasional waltz or hornpipe.
Odd Fellow’s Hall 2380 Hampden, St. Paul. Third Saturday Loma Mor Ceili, 7:30-10:30 PM. Same as above. These are like dancing sessions. Everyone joins in and has a good time.
