A populous Shack session this week. As there had been a break in the rain and the evening was a mild one, I tipped out early with the instruments across my back for the session.
It wasn’t long before a good number of Arizonians (Arizonans??) arrived on the scene. The fingerpicker, the sherrif and ze germanz [...]

The poor aul big beansie just hasn’t been feeling well. Locals may have spotted his ghost at this past Sunday session in Sean’s bar. In any case, even when just a shade of himself, the aul guitar still functions. We had a good crew in, as you can see from above, and it produced some [...]
The Shack Session

It had been a while since the bean and myself walked out to the Shack and, seeing as there was a break in the rain, we decided the evening was perfect for a stroll.
Ze germanz relieved us of carrying the instruments out (though we’d return with them across our backs later) and we had a [...]

The oldest bar in the world and the, ah, maybe not the oldest session, but certainly a good old session if’n ya know what I’m talkin’ about . . .

The rain has let up a bit in the last couple of days, so it was with instruments over the aul shoulder that myself and Guy Noir went strolling across town for this week’s Shack Pub session.
While he has aspirations of learning the harmonica, Guy is not a musician and was, I think, intrigued by [...]

The Sunday session abides.
I popped in early, an act resulting from my early start and Athlone Agri Show excursion. Big M and the painter were in residence, but I had arrived before Amber Moon and was about half-way through my drink before things got going.
It wasn’t one of the all-day sessions as sometimes occur [...]
Hardy’s farewell party

Once in a while you come across a person who seems so intrinsically a part of someplace that you almost can’t imagine it without them. Indeed, without them things just wouldn’t be the same; the place wouldn’t be the same. Athlone had one of these people and he left for France to continue his life [...]

It was an unusual Shack session this week.
It all started some time after nine when ze germanz rang to see was anyone coming out to the Shack. A few minutes later it was he and I settling in on our lonesome, discussing the rainy weather with the proprietor and speculating about the chances of more [...]

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. [...]
Sean’s Sunday Session

Another Sunday, another session in Sean’s Bar.
Having finally achieved temporal equilibrium, due mostly to an early retirement at 8pm the night before, Sunday morning found me bright-eyed and bushy tailed. I strolled down to the session in two doses - once while munchkin was having her afternoon nap and then again with her in tow [...]
