In his latest Roaming St. Louis segment, KMOX weekend host Scott Jagow stops into one of the better kept secrets in South City: Riley's Irish Pub in the Tower Grove neighborhood.
He chats with owner Bill Kapes about how to create the cozy, woody feel of a tavern straight out of the Emerald Isle. He furnished the pub with items from garage sales, including the booths (made from pocket doors!).
Scott also hangs out with fiddle and banjo player Larry Pontious and uilleann pipes player Nick Brown. They're among the musicians who jam Irish music at the pub every Wednesday night. Why are the Irish pipes so difficult to play? Did you know St. Louis has become a hub for Irish arts?
