Irish Gospel Jam

Last night Miriam and I got the opportunity to go to an intimate gathering of musicians doing a Gospel themed jam session. It was put on by our friend Gavin Glass that we met on Sunday night at Whelan's. It was held in the upstairs members only section of a cool bar on Camden street named Anseo. There was about 15-20 people there I suppose and most seem connected to the music scene here in Dublin. Drinking a pint of Guinness while singing "I'll fly away Lord Jesus" is something I will always treasure. Gavin and a popular singer over here named Mundy also got to jam a few songs and do some covers of Bob Dylan. And everyone in the room sang backup at one point or another. Miriam even had the opportunity to get up twice and sing. Once she did backup with Gavin on a song called Wagon Wheel, and then another time she got to sing one of her own songs, "Red Moon," a cappella style. Have you checked our her music on mySpace yet?

After the jam was over we all headed down to a popular club next to Whelan's called The Village. The had a good DJ there and it was a fun time had by all hanging out and dancing. We got back pretty late and Miriam had an early flight so she could only nap on the couch in the lobby for an hour before her taxi came. I made sure she got in her taxi ok and she should be flying somewhere over the Atlantic by now. I am here for a few more days and fly out on Saturday.
