This week I had a call from a person asking if they could join us at our thursday night trad session on thursday in Fox,s on flowerhill.
Apparently they were given my number by someone who told them that there was a good trad session in fox,s every thursday night.
So just to clear up a few things.
Firstly, our session is NOT a trad session, and we do not play ANY trad music.
Secondly, it is not an open session, we are a group of singers and musicians who commit to this session and practice together regularly.
Our genre is ballads and folk not trad. There is plenty of trad around, so perhaps one should inquire from Navan Coeltas, whom im sure will be dighted to point you in the right direction.

Tomorrow at midday mass, in a small church in Doonane, Co Laoise, a young woman of only forthy seven years, is being laid to rest, having pased away on the streets Of Dublin, earlier in the week. Ann Delaney, a former nurse, and a mother, ignored and forgotten by the powers that be, endured almost seven years of being homeless on our streets, until her body could take no more.
This is another example as to why the issue of mental health needs to be brought to the fore, and addresses with a view providing a better mental health services to people in Ireland.

Tomorrow night we will be remembering our friend, musician and singer, Dickie Brady, who passed away recently. May he rest in peace. Dickie played with us for a short while when we first started our session in Fox,s, before he departed on a three month trip to Australia. Sadly tho, he fell ill and was never able to return to us. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him. Tomorrow night is for you Dickie.

I received some terrible news tonight, and I swear, it knocked me for six. Im sittin here, and I dont know what to say. I just learned, at the end of the evening, that our friend Dickie Brady had passed away recently. When we started playing music, and singing songs in Fox,s in October 2022, Dickie was with us. He went off to Australia to visit family, and returned, some time later, he told me that he had been diagnosed. I did not realize at the time, that time was his enemy. Rest in pease my friend. A lovely player, a lovely singer, a lovely man. Our next night our will be for you

Luke Kellys final performance. I always felt, whenever I saw this, that he was announcing his own departure. Cruel irony

Having the craic at Fox,s ballad and folk session every thursday night

The leaving of Liverpool

Expect a lot more like this tonight. Thanks Clare for thw video

Short of adopting the lot of ye, I dont know what else to do. I listened to this when I got home, and to say that I am impressed, would be an understatement. Ya wouldnt get it in Vicar street. It doin the rounds of Australia, Canada and the US at the moment, So well done everyone

John was on form last nite with "Englands motorways"

Ya dont expect this when you come to Fox,s ballad and folk session

I came across this piece of work on utube, and loved it instantly as it mentions some great characters of old in its lyrics. One of whom was "Bang Bang", aka John Duddy. He used to shoot at the busses with his larger than life door key, and I remember seeing him on the streets in Dublin in the late 60s, when I was just a chap

A rare piece of footage of Sharon collen and Bobby Clancy from the "Ballad session" 1963

They dont make them like this anymore

Heres one to start your Saturday mornin off with a bang. Enjoy, and have a nice day

Apologies for the poor sound quality. This is a great ballad by Canadian singer Gordon Lightfoot. Lightfott I suppose, would be to Canada, as Christy Moore is to Ireland. His music spanned decades, and you could never get tired listening to it.
