March Strongbow's Jam

Greetings,

We had out third monthly jam at John Strongbow's Tavern, and we had a very good turn out, with new faces and old faces returning for the first time in a while. We got started really late because we had some lingering fingers in our playing area, but once things got going, the craic was high! We also had a reported from the Alexandria Gazette Packet who interviewed a few of us and took some video. Great stuff. Thanks to everyone for coming.
