Any suggestions for sessions in Belfast City.

Thanks,

Bob

I live in Tucson Arizona and have played Irish trad since the late 60s, and Appalachian banjo since I was a teen. I spent a few weeks in December and February playing sessions in Galway but I avoid the Republic in summer. If I wanted to play with Yanks, I'd head to Chicago or Boston. I'm thinking it'd be more fun and maybe less touristy in Belfast. I was there in Belfast numerous times in the early 70s. Not many tourists around heh heh.

If anyone could suggest and pubs with sessions or Appalachian jams, I'd appreciate it. I want to avoid renting a car. Is there any decent bus service between Dublin and Belfast? I assume no train?

Thanks in advance,

Bob

I finally got fed up with my Microtuners breaking when trying to fit them on Vintage Irish tenors or various clawhammer banjos.

I came up with this design and it's a huge improvement! The tuner pops on securely and pops off when needed.

If there's any interest in the adapter let me know I'll do a run for the sub. I have converted all my Micros to the new bracket adapter. Much firmer grip, more accurate tuning...'mo bedda!

If there's interest I'll sell them for $5 plus postage. Here's a crappy before and after photo of today's adapter:

Another busted tuner

Solid as a rock!
