This is a welcoming session, good for many levels. It's quite eclectic, tunes from a variety of traditions as well as songs. It goes from about 9 - midnight.
Not sure I would call this one "good for many levels". In fact if the two core fiddlers are there, you're in for a hold-on-to-your-hats-this-isn't-grandpa's-trad session! Those guys like to play with their food and if you aren't up for the game, you might as well just watch cause they're amazing.....it's totally a fun time if musicianship is key for you. If you're into playing things straightlaced, you might want to head over to the Plough instead.
The sessions at the Plough are all different because they have a rotating pool of hosts... more traditional I suppose, but not "grandpa's trad session." hahaha The session at O'Reilly's is more eclectic probably since it's hosted by people playing other genres along with trad... and the publican likes what he calls, "staccato" music, whatever that is... but the level of musicianship is the same as you would find at the Plough.
