Our sessions are currently held every Wednesday night from 7:30 to 10:30 PM at Knowhere Public House, 130 Elm St, Greater Sudbury, ON P3C 1T6, kindly hosted by owners Bill & Caitlin. Fiddles, tin whistles, flutes, bodhráns, mandolins, bouzoukis, guitars, harmonicas, accordions, concertinas and banjos are all welcome. Most repertoire is memorized and there is a lot of it, so it might be intimidatin
