This is my other local pub: the Half Moon in Oxford. It, too, runs a Sunday session that starts around 9pm. Although run by an Irishman, it doesn't actually feature a great deal of Irish music. The main reason for this is that there's far too much damn fine English folk around, and plenty of people who know how to sing it. Learning new material has been one of the best bits about getting to know the local scene here (along with meeting new people, and getting to perform ourselves!)
Last Sunday was my first session back at 'the Moon' and it was, in the words of my friend Lizzy, a 'stonking session'. A stonking session is one where the pub is still chock full of people at 3am, when the licence ends...
Only the English can get away with using words like 'stonking' and not sound like utter twats.
