Lá Fhéile Pádraig sona duit! ☘️
This St. Patrick’s Day (March 17, 2026), transport yourself to the west of Ireland, sip a few pints of the black stuff, and listen to LIVE traditional Irish music that has been passed down by the masters of tradition for generations... iontach! 🇮🇪
ROB HOFFMAN & FRIENDS 3:00-5:30PM 🪗
Rob Hoffman is a master accordion player mentored by senior all-Ireland accordion champion, John Nolan. Rob has been keeping the tradition of Irish music alive in London for decades and can be found leading sessions at the Scot’s Corner, performing with the hit band Paddy Murphy’s Ghost, and providing live music for Ceili dances hosted by the London Irish Folk Club.
BEN HEFFERNAN 5:30-7:30PM 🎸
Most London music enthusiasts are familiar with singer-songwriter Ben Heffernan. His polished folk-pop sound has graced stages around the Forest City for over a decade. Ben is an indie-pop artist who has been nominated for a Canadian Folk Music Award, as well as a Forest City London Music Award. He has brought his brand of introspective pop-rock across Canada and Ireland, playing over 350 shows since 2014.
TRADITIONAL IRISH SEISIÚN 7:30-9:30PM 🪕
Quench your thirsty ear as tenor banjo player, Johnny Hewerdine, and concertina player/singer, Rachel Genders Boyd, host a local traditional Irish session. Johnny and Rachel have been mentored by two of Ireland’s finest musicians, Theresa O’Grady (banjo) and Florence Fahy (concertina). This will surely be an exciting session riddled with swish buckling porters, toe tapping tunes... and maybe a song or two.
Leave your kilts and iPads at home; there is no better place to be on St. Patrick’s Day than 1 Cove Road (the German Canadian Club) from 3:00pm onwards.
