Session
at
St. Stephen’s Green last
night was a real blast… We were soooo happy to
have our dear heart...
Frank Curran with us
again, bringing lively songs and lilting flute and
whistle tunes… and our adorable
Rich Brautigam - and all
his boyish charm... adding a wonderful, cheerful,
bouncing banjo accompaniments to the music of the
evening… So to have BOTH the boys with us last
night was a real treat! 
By accident… the Mp3 recorder was left on 'record'… and so this most delightful evening was then recorded – unbeknownst to the band… So... upon this delightful discovery this morning... I’m posting some of our last evening’s tunes here for you to enjoy…
Jennifer Mylod kicked off a reel set… swinging into "Pigeon on a Gate" so here's - Jennifer Mylod on fiddle… Bob Higgins on lead guitar, Lyn Higgins on Bodhran, Phil Mylod on Uilleann pipes, Frank Curran on Whistle/flute and Rich Brautigam on Banjo.
Pigeon Set
Frank Curran brought us his awesome version of “Whiskey in the Jar” … we ALWAYS have fun with this tune! Frank on guitar, Jennifer Mylod on fiddle accompanyment... and mostly the same folks on same instruments! Whiskey In the Jar - Frank Curran

Pam Pertgen came and sang for us in her pure, crystalline voice “The Fields of Athenry” with Bob Higgins backing her on guitar, and Jennifer Mylod singing harmony behind her… not bad for off the cuff! Fields of Athenry - Pam
Tom… ohhhhhh what can we say?
Our dear, adorable Thomas Geary came to the pub last night… to celebrrate his Birthday… he came with his friends and we sang Happy Birthday to him… Then, (after his G string debockle&hellip
