Paddy's Night in Hastings!


So... Where is there a celebratory Paddy's Night in Hastings this evening? 


The Dolphin, down at Rock-a-Nore, always has 'traditional' oirish music provided by the 'Tune Raiders' on a Tuesday evening, whether it's St Patrick's Day or not... Also, I was assured earlier, that the Irish landlady, Bev, at the Millers Arms in Winchelsea Road, Ore, also means there will be something special going on there this evening. There is music at the FILO in the 'Old Town' High Street and the addition of a guest to the group playing tonight, 'Stone Junction', means a wee bit of 'fiddle dee dee' is highly likely too, and Adam suggested to me there may be an Irish influence in the restaurant there this evening, and where I was served a lovely pint of the FILO Cardinal Porter by the persuasive Elina, before I took this photograph...   


Just down the road from the FILO, the Duke of Wellington is certainly looking geared up for Paddy's Night, there's music, though I'm unsure how oirish it will be, though the 'complimentary boiled bacon and cabbage' looks to be making an effort! Most Shepherd Neame pubs appear to be offering cheaper Guinness and Jamesons Whiskey, and some are giving away those silly Guinness hats; I've already seen some customers wandering around wearing them... and most of the bars in the town centre also seem to be selling Irish drinks cheaper, notably Guinness and Irish whiskey... 

No doubt I've missed places out, but please feel free to add a comment about other 'parties', but, whatever, enjoy the 'craic' this evening and Sláinte!
