So herself and I will be in Ireland Sept. 2 - 10. We'll travel from Dublin to Sligo, then up the Donegal coast and back down through NI. Want to take in as much of the pure drop as we can find.
Any info on sessions along the way gratefully appreciated. And if any of you who are out that way want to meet up, let me know!

Session regulars include Damien O'Brien (Fiddle), Oliver Loughlin (Accordian), Damien Stenson (Flute), Dave Sheridan (Flute), the McGovern Familly (Pipes, Box, Banjo, Fiddle, Flute) Brian Duke, Myself (Guitar) and many more. You'll be passing the door on your way.
Mitchell's in Carrigallen. Tunes every Thursday night. Regulars include, Donal Reilly (Box), Martin Smith (Flute), Padraig and Andy McGovern (Pipes and Banjo) and Myself.
When coming through NI - informal Comhaltas Ceoltrà session The Welcome Inn Forkhill South Armagh every Tuesday night. (Or try O'Hanlons, Mullaghbawn, Friday ?)

Thanks for the replies! I found Gurteen but can't seem to locate Carrigallen on my map - where is it?
