Winter has finally shown herself. We had some lovely warm weather all the way up until Monday night when there was a sudden turn in the air - a crispness that wasn’t there the day before.
Maybe it was the chill, maybe it was the rain, but the Shack was fairly quiet even though I arrived [...]

It was an usual session this week. For starters, wifey volunteered to join me on the evening. Secondly, a number of her co-workers joined us as well, including bawn, a very able performer.
A number of the usual crew were in attendance, including ze germanz and the sheriff. Jbanjo and a bodhran player I’d never seen [...]

It will be the last session with beans for a coupla weeks in Sean’s Bar, the oldest pub in Ireland.
I pulled out the trusty point-and-shoot (which is dying a slow death) and began to curse when it refused to even turn on. Before chucking it in the bin I had the presence of mind to [...]
Sean’s Bar Sunday session

This Sunday’s session was another lively one with deep sea banjo joining damsel, the bean, myself and fiddler around the table.
Damsel was in fine form, as evidenced in this lunasa-flavoured whistle tune.
Myself, I was a bit nervous about the gig for Sarah Ryan with Mundy later that evening. I had been recruited as stage manager [...]

I didn’t bring the camera this week . . . actually, I did bring the camera, I just neglected to remember its battery sitting in the charger back at home. In any case, you’ll have to make due with a sketch of some of the play
ers there (left).
I arrived quite late this week, despite intentions [...]

It’s so good to have Las Lunas Ambarinos back and in good form at the Sunday session in Sean’s Bar.
This Sunday was a subdued affair with angel and the bean flanked by yours truly, ze germanz and a kimono-clad whistle player.
Angel sang a lovely version of The Last Call for Ellis Island. At [...]

The last couple of Shack sessions have been populous, lighthearted musical romps.
Boy, that sounded like a review of something at the west end.
This week Guy Noir and I stuck the heads in early and spent a good deal of time discussing an insightful, but myopic comparison of anglo and yankee masculinity I had read somewhere. [...]

It was a late start Tuesday night. I rang up ze germanz and managed to get a lift out shackwase.
Upon arrival we found just the sherrif and des holding court with their guitars conspicuously absent from their laps. Given the large turnout at last week’s session, we were surprised to find just the two lads. [...]

The reassuring features of the landscape slowly bring one back to a sense of belonging. One of these is certainly Sean’s Bar and Amber Moon’s Sunday session.
Enough chatter, more mp3s!
Thusly!

I was feckin exhausted this Tuesday. Seriously. I was yawning through the visit with wifey in the hospital and was ready to keel over once I got in the house. Lil sis kipped out on the couch and all I could think was . . . it’s Tuesday. After the week I’d had, I felt [...]
