An Irish Session, often referred to as a traditional Irish music session, is a lively and informal gathering of musicians who come together to play and celebrate the rich heritage of Irish music. Typically hosted in pubs or other cozy venues, the session features a variety of traditional instruments such as fiddles, flutes, tin whistles, accordions, bodhráns (Irish drums), and guitars.
Participants take turns leading tunes or songs, creating a dynamic and interactive atmosphere. The focus is on instrumental music, with tunes passed from one musician to another in a spontaneous and collaborative manner. The spirited and energetic nature of the session encourages both experienced and novice musicians to join in, fostering a sense of community and preserving the authenticity of Irish musical traditions.
The repertoire includes jigs, reels, hornpipes, and other traditional tunes, often passed down through generations. Audiences are encouraged to participate by clapping along, tapping their feet, or even joining in on traditional Irish dances. The Irish Session provides a unique opportunity for musicians and enthusiasts to come together, share their love for Irish music, and create a vibrant and memorable experience.
Bring your instrument if interested in joining. The more the merrier!
