Can anyone let me know if there are any good sessions to go to in or near Owen Sound? Ta!
This is all I could find

Jazzmyn’s seems to be some sorta Spanish place, I think it’s called Jazzmyn’s Tapas and Taps, but maybe there are two Jazzmyn’s in Owen Sound… but probably not. Couldn’t find a session date on their webpage.
Toronto is only a couple hours away!
(actually everything is about two hours away, I’m sure it’s a very nice city though!)
Well, its small, and a bit … rustic, but maybe you like that (?). Lots of tourists in summer. There’s Scottish stuff (pipebands, accordians, etc.) close to hand. They have tried to get a Celtic Festival going a couple of times. I know there’s a session in Fergus, about an hour’s drive - mixed Scottish/Irish. And you’re within less than an hour’s drive from Goderich, which has a Celtic Summer School and festival. There’s a fiddle festival nearby (Shelbourne, I think) but the emphasis is more American old-timey. So, yes there’s stuff going on in the area of a folky nature, but not much in the way of pure drop ITM. You’d have to go to Toronto for much of that. Unless you wanted to start somethng youself … ![]()

And you won’t be to far away next year from one of Canada’s best Celtic festivals in Goderich, Ontario. Great boating and kayaking area on Georgian Bay, also a beautiful part of Canada.
Welcome!
