A man entered the bar one day just as the sun was going down .  He was battered and bleeding, his clothes hung in shreds, and he carried a bloody sword in one hand and a black cloth bag in the other. 

He came up to the bar and laid the sword on it and looked at the bartender. 

"Give us a drink," says he.    

"What's that you've got in the bag?" says the bartender. 

"It's the severed head of my mortal enemy," says the man, "Who I just slew in mortal combat." 

"That's all right, then," replied the barman as he began to pull a pint, "I was afraid it was a bodhran." 

Hey, what's this have to do with Mitchell's Famous Irish Session?     Does it mean that bodhran players are allowed?    

Absolutely.   We have had some of the finest in the Delaware Valley show up.   Pipers, dancers, and singers as well.  

We even played "Blue Moon" one night for Rosie from down the way. 

If you play, come in and play, and if you don't -- come in anyway and join the party at Mitchell's Famous Irish Session!
