April O'Sullivan's Jam

Because our inaugural jam at O'Sullivans took place on Easter Sunday, we weren't expecting a big crowd, and we didn't get one. But we played some lively tunes to an appreciative audience, and so thanks to everyone who played, and to those who supported us.

Here are a smattering of our tunes:

Blackberry Festival Foot Race
Muckin' o' Geordie's Byre/The Stool of Repentance/Lieutenant Maguire/Jig RunRig
Jenny Dang the Weaver/The Ale is Dear/High Road to Linton
Sleep Soond ida Moarnin/Willafjord/Flowers of Edinburgh
Doolin Reel/Miss Jenna Reed of Quarf/Road to Errogie
Calliope House/Andy DeJarlis/The New Fiddle

The DC-area Scottish Jam session is back on!

O'Sullivan's Irish Pub - Herndon has generously agreed to host us. We'll be playing the 3rd Sunday of the month, from 2:30-5:00.

We'll try April 20 (Easter Sunday) to see how good of a fit it is for us, both ways, and then move forward from there.

Please come out with either your tunes or your appetite! They have a wonderful bruch menu if you want to come early, and an excellent dinner menu as well, if you want to stay late.

Thanks to general manager Enda Brown and the pub for hosting us!

O'Sullivan's Irish Pub is located at 754 Elden st., Suite 102, Herndon, VA 20170.
