Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada: [Folk/Celtic]
Rye's Deli, within spitting distance of a place called the Cosmo, has a
folk-jam every Saturday from about 8:30pm until 1:00am or a wee bit
later. Different local folk-singers/ musicians host it every week. The
music ranges from Celtic to experimental, with covers of everyone from
Stan Rogers to Vic Chesnutt (who? ok, so he's not exactly folk... still,
when Angie O'Brien gets up there and belts out a Chesnutt tune...!).
There's absolutely no admission, and if it's a slow night, Claude the
waiter gets up to sing a few, too.

St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada: [Celtic]
The Captain's Quarters, a pub in a motel between downtown and Quidi Vidi
lake, has a great celtic session every Friday and Saturday from 9--1, but
get there early to avoid sitting near the video gaming machines. It may
be suspended when host Kelly Russell is on tour with Plankerdown. There
is a host (usually Kelly) and a headline act that does some sets, and
then lots of spots in between and a table session at the end. Free, but
bring quarters.
