I'd like to extend a special thanks to ALL the great musicians who came out to play music last night at our first official - Tuesday night summer session at St. Stephen’s Green pub! The lively mix of jigs, reels, hornpipes, polkas, waltzes/airs and songs were just lovely - and I think a truly enjoyable evening was had by all – both musicians and patrons alike!

I was happy to see folks enjoying the music to the point that they actually kicked up their heels and danced – some clapped along, nodding and smiling or tapping a foot… which to me, embraces the whole wonderful experience of playing Irish music… to be able to bring a bit of joy to people in their day is just - well… it’s wonderful.

So my sincerest thanks and appreciation to all you wonderful folks! You made the evening just perfect!
Fondly, Jennifer!
