Music at the Half Moon starts at around half eight to nine o'clock on Sunday nights. It is fairly difficult to predict the nature of this session, because it depends on who's in town on any particular Sunday. There are usually a fair few Morris tunes, and there will be traditional English songs, sung unaccompanied by several exceptionally talented musicians.
Other than a few regulars, musical ability is variable, and all are welcome, provided they leave the sheetmusic at home, and don't try to dominate proceedings.
The good news for Irish musicians is that Joe is from West Clare, and Irish tunes are heartily welcomed. The bad news is that Joe might not let you leave until he's heard enough.

Is this session still alive?
Hi, just wondering, as this was posted nearly a whole year ago, is this session still active, or has it died from inactivity?

Yup it's definitely alive
Quite often toddles along until well after bed time
