Irish Sessions in San Diego

We have a very active traditional Irish music scene here in San Diego, with many excellent sessions:

Here’s the two I most enjoy:

Tuesday nights 7-10 PM
The Ould Sod
3373 Adams Ave, San Diego

I co-host this one with George Rubsamen. 21 and older only.

Here’s a short video with scenes from a typical night out:
