Last Thurs in Cruises, our session was part of the Session Trail of the Fleadh Nua 2016 so Jimmy Clancy and I had some new visitors – some I didn’t get photos of and some I did. Special hi to Ronnie Brack from Belgium, Suzanna from Germany but living in Dublin and others that I didn’t get names of.
Well it’s back to Cruises Bar this Thurs (TONIGHT) with Jimmy Clancy back this week and friends too – of course the Fleadh Nua is in full swing around the town so there could be ..well, just anybody visiting the bar! For details see http://www.fleadhnua.com/ And for Cruises Bar see https://www.facebook.com/cruises.bar/
I sneaked in a lovely seisiún in Myles’ Creek last Sunday with Niamh Casey and Roisin Considine and Tom Gorman joined us as did my Dad, Jim.

Visiting musicians from Kilkenny!

Looking forward to our next seisiún in Cruises Bar, Ennis where we are hoping for more visiting musicians like last week to sit in and join us for the few tunes! Don’t be shy – starting at 8:30ish this Thursday! Jimmy Clancy, Áine and friends.
See https://www.facebook.com/cruises.bar/?fref=ts for directions.
Yes – it’s that time of year when we mix music and shellfish!! And only the best; Irish Traditional music and fresh local oysters. The May Bank Holiday Weekend in Carrigaholt provides plenty of menu choices besides the shellfish too and all deliciously prepared.
Music everywhere as you can see in the poster below! On Friday I will be in Keane’s lovely homely pub (overlooking the pier) joining Breda (vocals and bodhrán) and Colin Sheehan (concertina). Please feel welcome to join us there from 9pm Friday 29th April.
Watch out also for the Loop Head walking festival – you could have the best combination of exercise, local scenery, local food and of course, local music!! https://www.facebook.com/LoopHeadWalkingFestival/
Back again in Cruises Bar (https://www.facebook.com/cruises.bar/?fref=ts) this Thurs night after asking Niamh Casey to replace me for the past two weeks – took an unexpected break!! Thanks Niamh for playing a stormer the last two Thursdays and I’m sure they’ll be seeing you again soon in Ennis! Up the West! Isn’t it lovely to have a flavour of different parts of the county – the Fleadh Cheoil will of course add huge varieties of flavour this August.
So maybe you’ll be able to make it in for a pint or a few tunes or just to listen and enjoy – either way – it’s an open session with myself and Jimmy Clancy (below) and a lovely way to while away a couple of hours.
Jimmy Clancy accordian Áine Heslin flute/whistle
Back in Cruises on Thurs night from 8:30pm – the storm should be quietening down by then?? Not that storms have ever stopped the music, but….the winds they be shakin’ the barley, I’ve heard say! 🙂
It’s an open seisiún so come and join us – Jimmy on the accordian and I’ll be playing tinwhstle and flute. Friends coming also. https://www.facebook.com/cruises.bar/?fref=ts
