Check back here regularly to get updates, especially with the Christmas season (below) almost upon us!
Just one week to go! Tom McConvillle and Michael Biggins.

Christmas Season
Remember the Cross Keys tends to be busy before Christmas so there is NO OAK or DICKSON room on Friday 12th, and it is all shut for a couple of weeks after Christmas. So get your fix before the closures – provisional last December dates are Thursday 18th Trad and (fingers crossed) Friday 19th floor spots. The Cross Keys provides us space for free most of the year so we can’t grumble when they get paying customers.
Then Thursdays hopefully from 15th January and normal Fridays from the 30th January.
The Cobbles is open most of January. The Cobbles band is playing there on the 31st January if you want to book a table
There is no Friday session the weekend of the 23/24/25 January. Whilst this is not a club event it is the Cross Keys Irish music Weekend. All are usually welcome to play or listen
Next years events
Burns Supper Saturday 17th January – watch your inbox for the invite. Yes – this is once every two years except this year, to reset our schedule against that of other clubs
The delightful Humble Scribes will play a 40 minute set on Friday 6th Feb. (no charge)
Alan Reid and Christine Kidd Friday April 17th £TBD
Reg Meuross Friday May 29th £ TBD
And of course our festival 4th to 6th September – save the date!
