I’ve been toying with the idea of pulling a session together in Worcester, MA. There’s a huge Irish community, some great players, and nice venues, but no session. I grew up there in the 70’s and I don’t think there’s ever been a session. I wanted to see if there’s an interest.
Hi!
While I’d be very interested in a session in the Worcester area, I would like to point out that at the AOH in Worcester, there is a session, held once a month on Sunday afternoon. It starts at 4pm. the next session is THIS sunday, the 14th.
Also, not too far away (approx 1/2 hour drive from Worcester) in Westboro there is a wonderful weekly session! This is held at Mulligans Tavern at the Westboro Country Club. It is held every Thursday, and the music starts about 7:30.
At last! Sessions ARE coming to the area! Please keep me posted!

That’s great news. Is AOH the Ancient Order of Hibernians? And I’m curious when these sessions first started.
The AOH is indeed the Ancient Order of Hibernians, and is located on Temple St in Worcester. They just opened their new building in February, and with that they started monthly sessions.
The session at Mulligans Tavern in Westboro had been ongoing for a little over year now.
I hope that helps, AND I hope to see you at one!
