òran mór

The restaurant and pub will be in high gear all day Tuesday, the 17th.

We’ll be playing from 4PM onward until at least 11PM.

We’ll have our usual song and tune repertoire, and some extra surprises from the Clancy Brothers  and other favorites.  Pete has at least one special surprise up his sleeve.

Hoping you can join the fun.

Cynthia Neale

Members of òran mór go where the music and all things Irish lead them, and this coming Saturday I’ll be heading to the Barnes and Noble at the Newington Mall.  Acclaimed children’s author Cynthia Neale (The Irish Dresser, A Story Of Hope During The Great Hunger and Hope In New York City, The Continuing Story Of The Irish Dresser) will be signing her books to the accompaniment of live traditional music played by me, Cynthia’s husband Tim, and friends Martha & Howard Windrow.

Look for us in the Children’s department beginning at 1 pm!

We enjoy an ongoing musical link with Terry Weir’s session at Harrington’s Pub in Wakefield,  MA. On occasion we fill in to help one another back and forth.  Terry has asked Pete and Dave to help out on Saint Patrick’s Eve, from 6 to about 9:30.  This could be a fun way to warm up for St. Pats (pace yourself, now) and an opportunity for some of our friends in Mass (yes, we wish it were en mass) to stop by and say hello.

It’s a nice pub, easy to get to, and always plenty of fun.

Hope to see you there!

Last month we had the pleasure of playing at an After Hours Mixer for the Greater Portsmouth Chamber of Commerce. Held at our usual haunt of McMenemy’s, it was a fun time and we got the Chamber members tapping their toes with the tunes.

Tom Cocchiaro, Communications Manager for the Chamber, was kind enough to take a couple of shots of òran mór in action and they finally arrived.

Thanks again to the Chamber for having us be part of the fun.

When you can’t travel to Clare directly, it’s good to  know that the trad tunes and songs on Clare FM can be a close second. Beyond the fun of listening live, you can enjoy the archives and their easy MP3 downloads.
