Currently, two of our regular events are held in downtown Aurora. These include: A weekly "Sing Around" (an informal song circle) that we have held every Wednesday night since 1/15/1975. It started in Aurora and remained there for about 16 years when we began a series of moves up and down the Fox Valley. In 2013 we returned to Aurora at Ballydoyle Irish Pub & Restaurant. The Sing Around is held every Wednesday night beginning at 7 pm and often continuing until 11 or 12. A monthly "Sea Shanty Sing" held on the first Sunday each month from 3 to 6 PM at Ballydoyle Irish Pub & Restaurant. Sea Shantys were the work songs used to coordinate the labor of the work on the Tall Ships. They're great songs, mostly a' capella, with rousing sing along choruses. You don't need to know the songs, just be ready to belt out the choruses! This has been a regular monthly event since 2014.
