This session is still going strong and gets better each week. The friday session is cancelled until 23rd of October, hopefully both nights will be up and running again after that.
Just a note to say that the sessions are still going strong on friday and sunday nights from 8-10:30pm. We've even had a couple of folks from this site come along the odd time which was great!
Excellent session with great musicians who are very welcoming! The evening I went to this session there was also an American couple on holiday who were taking part with the husband on concertina and the wife on fiddle, if I remember correctly. The local group were inclusive of all. I didn't have my guitar along, but they encouraged me to sing a song and were happy enough to have me do some sean nos steps!
These sessions have been going on for a few years now, normally on a Sunday night from 10pm in the Ballyboe Bar.
For the summer the times have changed to 8-10:30 in the main bar and the session is on a Friday and a Sunday night.
Good mix of tunes and songs, mostly Irish but welcome to more wordly tunes. Very friendly atmosphere. All musicians welcome.
