There are a few New Years / Hogmanay parties going on in the Houston Celtic community, so I'll pitch the one I'm attending;

On this New Year's eve, the Blaggards will be ringing in the new year with some stout Irish rock at the Ashford Arms Pub in West Houston. $10 cover, Irish buffet and free champagne toast at Midnight. The Blaggards always have a fun show at this little bar.
