The Mickey Mulligan Party

In April, Mickey invited The Travelers over to his house for a jam session. Also invited were a few of the bands friends, long-time groupies, and other musicians. During the afternoon, countless burgers and pints were consumed, while the band alternately led and was led through every kind of music imaginable.

If you would like to save any of the following photos, just right click the photo and choose the "Save picture as..." option. Then you can print them and hang them up all over your house. Just remember that you can't get an official Mickey, Jack, Rowan, Colleen or Martin autograph unless you see The Travelers perform!

Jack and Mickey open up the session with some strumming and singing, as the bodhrán lies conspicuously silent.

Sawing on the bow, Colleen joins in with a lively tempo on some jigs and reels.

He's a picker and a grinner! Rowan picks up the chords and adds some rhythm on the banjo.

Even Séamus showed up, and joined in to sing a few Irish songs of rebellion.

The Travelers could have easily jammed all night...

...taking breaks only to hear stories by "Fibber" himself!
