Sessions

The Entertainment Co-ordinator, David Shaughnessy, asked me to let you know that there are going to be sessions in the hotel lobbies. Certainly in the Hyatt anyway - because we know who is staying there and the kind of things they get up to - and maybe also in the Westin Hotel. The sessions will begin in the evening and go til the wee hours. 'Wee Hours' is a term that refers to the hours of the night when you've broken the seal on your Boulevard Stout consumption and find yourself having to wee quite a lot.

A man with much experience of sessions himself, as a highly talented bodhrán player, here is a photograph David took of a session in a legendary pub in my hometown of Dublin. I forget why it's legendary but that doesn't matter; what matters is that people bring their fiddle, tin whistle, mandolin, button accordion, and whatever you're having yourself, and join in as the hotels of Crown Center acquire legendary status.
