Zine Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Hi all, It's my first year in Sheffield and I'm hoping to get my pals from back home over here for some St. Paddy's day shenanigans. So what events are happening on the 17th? Some live music/decent pubs would be great. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veritas Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 The owner of Henry's usually puts a huge marquee at the Top of fargate and there was also one on Devonshire Green last year. Then of course there is also Flynns on Trippet Lane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bypassblade Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Amazing isn't it, pubs fall over themselves to promote St Paddys day & the like, but when it's bloody St George's Day not a whisper. I have never celebrated it, nor felt the compunction to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never celebrated it, nor felt the compunction to do so. Pubs are known for their altruism - its what ever makes money. If they could ram the pub selling Bombadier with morris dancing outside - i'm sure they'd all be falling over themselves to do so. Anyway - back on topic - all the pubs in town & student areas will be busy and any with a vague irish connection will be chocca Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're just out of the loop I guess ... or maybe they don't advertise enough. 3 years ago the council put on a big do on Devonshire Green. They paid us to play there too. Not many people came. I guess that's why they didn't do it again... ---------- Post added 01-03-2013 at 19:53 ---------- Hi all, It's my first year in Sheffield and I'm hoping to get my pals from back home over here for some St. Paddy's day shenanigans.

There's a great band playing at the Hammer and Pincers, not too far from Hunter's Bar on the 17th. Gimme a shout if you want more info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
