Howdy -- I'm leading a session Dec. 16, 2009, 8-11 p.m. at Kilkenny House, 112 South Ave. East, Cranford, NJ. Nice spot, good players, right across from the train station. Gonna feature Celtic Christmas Music!

Next night, Dec. 17, there's another great session at Fitzgerald’s 1928, 13 Herman Street, Glen Ridge, NJ just about 2 miles up the road, 8-11 p.m. featuring amazing uilleann piper Danny McLaughlin stopping over from Queens. [url][/url]http://www.dannymclaughlin.com/[url][/url]

Happy Holidaze to all! L.E. McCullough

Anyone in the neighborhood should pop in to Kilkenny House, 112 South Ave East. in Cranford, New Jersey tonite (12/23) from 8-11 pm for a great session hosted by concertina standout Doug Barr. . . it's right across from the train station. It's the last session here till at least February and I know I'll be playing some jig and reel versions of Christmas favorites, plus my favorite holiday tunes, Wexford Carol and Christmas Eve.

Happy Holidaze to all,

Let me custom make one for you!

Update -- found out last nite that the Kilkenny House ITM session will run next Wed. Dec. 30 from 8-11 pm, 112 South Ave. East in Cranford New Jersey. . . last nite brought out flutist Jane Kelton and accordionist/fiddler Tom Dunne from Manhattan plus a stirring vocal rendition by Steve Wickins of "Christmas Lullaby", and we rocked for 3 straight hours. . . don't know who next week's host/hostess will be, but the tunes will be there all the same.

And if you're in the NYC area, you gotta check out uilleann piper Danny McLaughlin, who's living in Queens these days. He came to Glen Ridge NJ and led the session at Fitzgerald's 1928 last Thursday, and it was tremendous. I was fortunate to sit next to him all nite and just drank it in, great-sounding pipes and a beautiful fluid style. http://www.dannymclaughlin.com

It's Elvis' Birthday Eve, so anything's liable to happen.
