January 2017 Fiona's Jam Tunes

We had a brilliant time at Fiona's Irish Pub in Kingstowne, and with any luck, this will become the jam's new permanent home. Thanks so much to the management and staff, who were very welcoming, and to everyone who came to play and listen!

We played a lot of tunes, and things were smoking pretty hard. I think I got everything, but might have missed a couple of them, but here we go:
