A group of musicians gathered round a pub table playing concertinas, fiddle, whistle and mandolin.

But no sessions.

(Which is a shame—it’s right ’round the corner from me)

A row of fiddlers and one guitarist. One fiddler playing, another listening.

Fourth session ☘️🎶🎻🎻🎻

Two whistle players playing around a round table with a bright red tablecloth covered with drinks and instruments. Two women fiddle players listening to tunes in a pub.

Third session ☘️🎶

A banjo player and two fiddle players gathered round a pub table. One of the fiddlers is taking a swig of Guinness while the others play.

Second session ☘️🎶🎻

A group of musicians gathered round a table festooned with pints of Guinness. Guitar, fiddles, banjo, concertina and bones.

First session of the day ☘️🎶

Here’s how the St. Patrick’s Day sessions are shaping up in Brighton:

  • 2:30-4:30 The Fiddler’s Elbow
  • 4-6 The Bugle
  • 5-7 The Lord Nelson
  • 6-8 The Dover Castle
  • 8-10 The Jolly Brewer
  • 10-? ???

Lá Fhéile Pádraig sona daoibh go léir!

I’m off to play a rake of tunes…

I presume that “ChatGPT” isn’t supposed to be said as one word—“chatgipit”—but rather the capital letters should be spelled out.

So it’s pronounced “See Hat Jee Pee Tee.”

An indoor market under a futuristic curved roof with skylights. If feels cathedral-like. A rain-slicked paved street betweeen buildings, one of which is a Romanesque church. Three four-storey buildings in a row with so many repeating window panes it's like a geometric pattern. The middle building is particularly ornate. Waves batter a headland that supports a lone lighthouse under a cloudy sky.

Exploring A Coruña.

Sunset over a sandy beach with buildings on one side and waves on the other. A dramatic grey sky above a beach with crashing waves. Rocks and waves of turquoise water. Buildings overlooking the rocks and waves under a dramatic cloudy sky.

Strolling along the beach in A Coruña.

If you ask me, the construction of a highway to the danger zone was an extravagant waste of taxpayer money in the first place.

I would’ve gotten away with it too if I hadn’t attempted to mess with the Keyboard Cat page.
