Kelley O’Neil’s

Members of two groups host on alternate Sundays. The two groups are Green Island and the Contradance Group.
The Bar is located in the heart of Waikiki.

There is a session every sunday at kelley O’Neil’s. The two bands that host the sessions are Green Island and the Kamaina Ceili Band. Folk and Irish music continue into the evening with The Revelators.

The group Green Island has long since morphed into Celtic Waves (http://home.hawaii.rr.com/celticwaves/). They are at Kelly O“Neil’s the 2nd and 4th Sunday of the month and the Kaimana Ceili Band is there the 1st and 3rd Sundays. The format is not traditional session, but both Celtic Waves and Kaimana Ceili Band welcome anyone to sit in with them for these Sundays.

There is also an “Irish Night” at O“Toole’s Pub (902 Nuuanu) on the 1st Wednesday of each month. At 5pm - 8pm the singer James McCarthy starts out the evening followed by Celtic Waves from 8:30pm till midnight.

Crazy, they actually HAVE internet access. Oh cripes I’m so happy~

Anyway, Hawaii is really fun. Went to a session at Kelley O’Neill’s Sunday so I’m satisfied =] Stop by if you’re in the area and wanting some sessioning. I earned 3 bucks from tips hehe..

Ah, well, before I get kicked out, I’m out!

Cheers,
Armand

Why not come to Japan? Hawaii has been a colony of Japan, you know.

There is a session starting the 3rd Saturday of the month at O’Toole’s Pub (902 Nuuanu) from 5pm till about 8pm. The session is hosted by Celtic Waves. At about 9pm the Irish band with a Rock flare, Doolin Rakes, will bring down the house.

Currently the session is on the 1st and 3rd Sunday afternoons from about 4pm till 7pm. The 2nd and 4th Sundays is a gig by Celtic Waves (www.celticwaves.net)

The session are now held on the 2nd and 4th Saturdays of the month from 4-7pm. These are run by a (the only) local piper, Wilson Pang (wpangster@gmail.com)

Aloha all,
we just changed the session time on the 2nd and 4th Saturdays to 5 to 8 pm. Having a pretty good turn-out and, it seems, less tobacco smoking (which is illegal in the pub, but folks still do it). Come play/sing some tunes! Mike Griffin

Smoking has now been eliminated from the pub. Musician turnout is better than ever; come join us if you’re in town!

I’m moving out to Honolulu from the East Coast next month and I’m looking for a good session to become a regular member to. Does anyone know if this session is still active?

Aloha, all.

I’m sorry to announce that this session has been canceled. We are currently looking for a new home and will announce as soon as something is found. In the meantime, keep playing, everyone!

Sláinte,
Mark D.
