KC Irish Museum Session

Roger Fox — Mon, 12 Mar 2007 11:48:45 -0500

The Kansas City Irish Museum and Cultural Center is located inside Union Station. Three hour free parking in the garage to the west of the station and come in the lower entrance. To get to the parking garage, go down the ramp west of the Station and turn right. There are two entrances to the garage.

The IMCC is just beyond the ticket booths on the right. We play mainly 'pure drop' Irish traditional tunes every third Sunday of the month. It is a great space and a great organization.

At the Gaf-Traditional Irish Session

This can be a power session with up to 15 musicians sometimes. Very common to see 6-10. We play mainly 'pure drop' traditional irish tunes. ***The craic is mighty***

The Gaf has good food, drinks and a very supportive landlord.

There is always a good crowd of punters, including a bevy of lovely ladies who come for the tunes, drinks, dancing and who generally like to get out of line.

The Heart of America Old Time and Bluegrass (HABOT) association runs a monthly jam at 6pm October through April in Kansas City's Northland. See their web site for contact information and directions.

This jam is a huge affair with room after room of players playing away at bluegrass, country, old time, fiddle tunes and pretty much anything acoustic instruments can muster. It at the atmosphere of a picking festival. There are groups playing at just about every skill level, and a bluegrass show in a main performance space for those who don't bring an instrument.
