"Celebrate just like St Paddy woulda wanted, with flowing pints and a good ol’ trad session from riotous local folk-punks Poor Old Dogs. Their decade-matured, skiffle-dashed banjo and mandolin tales of drinking, more drinking, sailors and fishmongers soundtrack the perfect knees-up FFO: The Pogues, Flogging Molly, Bridge City Sinners, Gogol Bordello."

Poor Old Dogs
“Tradition saddled with invention, wild impudence and a substantial slice of audacity” FolkWords
Poor Old Dogs formed with a collective inclination for good, honest music. They reside in the nooks and crannies of Bristol and harbour a desire to sow their wild musical oats far and wide.
Georgia Lewis trio
Expect banjos, guitars, whistles and accordions aplenty. Fronted by Georgia Lewis, musician, songwriter and founder of Call Me Ceilidh, will be kicking things off with a variety of traditional tunes and songs.
They're back at The Jam Jar to celebrate all things Irish!
