Looks like fun!

In case you are looking for some thing to do on New Year’s Eve, and someplace warm, comfortable, and truly special, the Ploughboys will be playing at the Tam O’ Shanter on New Year’s Eve, from nine to midnight. This is a great way to ring in the New Year!

Champagne, hats, noisemakers, and, of course… The Ploughboys!

🍀Hello music friends-
Some of you may not know, but last month we lost a member of our Irish learning community, Kevin (Caoimhín) Drummond. We have not heard anything from his family about services, so Caitríona and I are planning a get-together in his honor on Friday, December 30th?

We'd like to share a few prayers at St. James Catholic Church in Redondo Beach and then head over to Coffee Cartel in the village for some music.

Even if you didn't know Caoimhín, we'd love to have you join us at the Coffee Cartel for a music session in his honor.

We would need to get started mid-afternoon because the Church closes at 3:00pm.

Please let us know if you will be available on Dec 3rd. We'll get more details to you soon.
Thanks!
Jean

Thanks for the heads-up, Chalana!

"This music can put us in touch with ourselves in ways that no other art form can do. It can embrace the pulse of our ancestral memory, allowing us to redefine our dreams of what it is to be Irish or Scottish." -Executive Producer Dónal O’Connor

Our friends at the Ventura POI session are staying connected via Zoom!

POI received the sad news that Dan Auerbach has passed away. Many of you may know him from the monthly Irish Music session in Brendan’s Pub in Agoura and most notably, the Monday night sessions at the Celtic Arts Center in North Hollywood. Here is a photo of Dan jamming with POI's Diane Grotjohn. May he rest in peace and play music to his heart's content.

Hello dear friends! We hope you are faring well during these uncertain times. Today, I want to take a moment to thank all of you for helping Pint of Irish grow into the friendly community that it is. We hope that you have been able to keep up with your music and we look forward to the time when we can meet face to face again.
A hearty FÁILTE to the folks who recently "liked" our page. Welcome to Dennis, Brian, Lauri, Gavin, and Shelley. :)
