Downtown Seattle - Irish or Old-time

**sixwatergrog** · Jul-09-2012, 12:53pm

I'll be in downtown Seattle near 6th and Pike for a conference this Wed, Thu and Fri - July 11, 12 and 13. I play Irish trad and old-time tunes - intermediate level. I should have evenings free. Looking for any open jams, sessions or opportunities to play.

Looks like most of the Irish sessions are Saturday, Sunday and Monday. I know the one at Murphy's, haven't been to the others.

There is a pretty cool irish pub down there somewhere, maybe you could play there?

If you walk straight west from 6th & Pike you'll hit Kells. Nearby there are about five more pubs: McHugh's, Buckley's, and Blarney Stone to the north, Fado to the south, and Clever Dunne's to the east. Seems to me there are sessions at Kells now and then, and Fado has the regular Sunday night one. Not sure about any of the others. In Seattle, some people think a pub is Irish if it has a "Mc" in the name, a shamrock on the sign and Guinness on the bottle ...
