Since Oct 1998 the finest of local musicians have risen our 200 year old roof every wednesday night,every season of the year. The depth of tradition and rich vein of talent, which we are lucky to be steeped in, has thrown up some magic anchors to our session. From the seed days of Pat Coyne, Ollie Lynch, Aindreas de Staic, Fegus Farrell and a fresh faced Fabian Joyce to Don Stiffe, Johnny Berrill and Eoin Wynne, the session has matured and now nestles in the finesse and flair of Ita Cunningham and Fabian Joyce (the older version!) and their regular infusion of special guests.

When the world didnt end in the year 2000 we decided to celebrate by having a session. That night has a lot to answer for and the custodian of guitar energy in the lakes hinterland, Gert Nungesser has since nurtured a session which has become a musicians paradise. From the first time Mouse Mc Hugh sang "Need your Love so bad" to sneak previews of Noelie Mc Donnells new material, we have been blessed with very powerful, enigmatic and talented anchormen. The current stompin' geeetar pickin' feel of the session has been enhanced by the ever present bluegrass vibes of Pete Smyth (jug), Eamon Quinn(vocals & Guitar) and Glenn Hardiman(5 string banjo & Guitar).
