Even our own Alan Doyle of Great Big Sea got in on the conversation, promoting the George St. Festival. Great Big Sea plays that particular festival on July 28th.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
Russell’s been here a number of times. He did a surprise show down at O’Reilly’s once, just on a regular night. And I love Alan’s comment – Dandy Jam!
You never know what you’re going to see at O’Reilly’s. I Once saw the band Big Sugar watching another band’s show form the balcony. On another occasion I was enjoying some pub food when the table next to us all broke out Fiddles and started playing!
