Good afternoon. I’m looking for a Monday night session in Ennis. Any recommendations will be appreciated. Open will be fun but I’ll be with my Father so listening will be just as good. Not really looking for a tourist trap.
Thanks in advance,
Walk into Custy’s during the afternoon, they’ll point you in the right direction.

Publicans don’t put sessions on for the musicians.
But this week the Fleadh Nua is on, which closes with a Ceili in Cois na hAbhna next monday.
This is off-topic but i thought i’d ask anyway. I was in Ennis once and was told by a local resident that when the courthouse there was built it was built to the wrong scale and hence was much bigger than it should have been. Can anyone say if this story is true?
John,
that does not surprise me in the least. I once worked in a office block in London which had a strange configuration… when I enquired about the shape of the rooms I was told that the plans for the building got mixed up with those for a hospital in India… so the office block became a hospital in the Punjab and we had long ,wide rooms for offices. 
Take a visit to Custy’s music shop , they’ll put you right. Just tell 'em Rory sent you .
Was just in Custy’s this afternoon; I bought David Power’s and Cillian Vallely’s new CDs.
About a block away, there was a nice session with Eamonn Cotter and some others I didn’t know or recognize. It was in the restaurant right across the alley from Brian Kelly’s pub, I can’t mind the name. A lovely day altogether.
Hmm, I was in Ennis also this afternoon. Did I run into you somewhere I wonder.
Thanks for the response. I’ll make a point to get to Custy’s. I have not been there in well over a decade.
I would be pleased to meet you Peter. Will you perchance be at the Tionól? I am headed to Tramore tomorrow, for that purpose.
It was my first time in Ennis, and it was larger and had more people than I imagined - though many were tourists such as myself. Parked at the edge of The Market and spent all my time there.
If I had seen you, I hope I would have recognized you from your photos posted here, but I wasn’t looking for you. Myself, I am 6’2", 15 stone, bald with a white beard, blue eyes. Was wearing a short-sleeve blue check shirt. Was carrying a flute broken down into its black case (I don’t play flute, but I am carrying one of Eamonn’s back for a friend of a friend at home in Texas). Walking with a short Scotswoman with shoulder-length silver hair.
