Keltic Kudzu will be back at the Loaf on Aug 13. We are also having our CD release party at the Red Light Cafe in Sept. Bring a crowd and we'll toss back a couple of pints. Thanks again, Bryan Robert,

Don't get the reference to Disney????

However, perhaps we should have clarified that we were rating these pubs as Irish-American Institutions. I must also point out that I love ABBA and I dissent from my learned brother Robert's decision to deduct 1 point from Meehan's. Also, where is the love? No one invited me to the Loafing Leprechaun.

I have to ask because of what I (mis?)perceive as a negative tone when you say "<i>it's more a jam band than pros</i>," and then you go on to say "but no sing alongs" as a negative. I'm trying very hard right now to remember through the Guinness and Jameson-induced haze over my memories of Ireland, but I don't recall a sing-along in five weeks of hitchhiking all over the island. During my three years playing Irish music myself in Phoenix, I'd guess what you might call sing-alongs accounted for fewer than one in five tunes at our Sunday night seisiuns. And I haven't been to Fado in years, but when I first moved here the Monday night music was an open seisiun, free for anyone who can pick, fiddle, or bang to join in -- as a good seisiun should be. But I'm sure some sing-along faves like The Moonshiner and Whiskey in the Jar are within their repertoire, if you ask 'em nicely. :-) Thanks for putting this list together, though. Good stuff to know, and I'm definitely going to hoof it up to Duluth to check out the Loafing Lep! Well, let’s judge the judges: how many of the seven have actually been to Ireland?
