So, Pat's Bar in Belfast is still open? They haven't torn it down yet? When we were there in June, they were expecting it to be torn down in a coupe of months (that would be about August) to make way for new apartments and two modern bars.

Does anyone know of any gigs or sessions on a Thursday night in Belfast? We'd rarely be in Belfast but we will be one Thursday at the end of this month. It would be great if there were music on somewhere.

Trimbelle,

Sorry, I missed this. I don't know if I'm too late, but just in case I'm not, you could try the Duke of York.

Just in time, actually. We are going to Belfast today. It sounds like the session at the Duke of York is Irish music. Is that right? We might just check it out. Thanks!

[Ptarmigan]

Yes Dianne, as far as I know it's mostly Irish Music they play there.

However, the musicians who play Old Time around Belfast also play Irish so you may well meet up with useful contacts for future trips.

Good Luck
Dick

Thanks, Dick. Unfortunately we never made it to the Duke of York. We were at the Proclaimers concert and my husband wasn't on for going anywhere afterwards. I'd have loved to check it out. Next time we'll have to go straight to the session!

[Ptarmigan]

Ah, so you went to see the Proclaimers, did you! I bet they are a great live act.

Well, funnily enough, it's about a 500 Mile Walk to the Sore Fingers Festival, from Belfast! ;D
