Sessions start somewhere between 8pm and 9pm... whenever a lead instrument shows up. It usually goes until 11:30 or whenever all lead instrument players have left.
Watch for someone with a lead instrument to raise their leg for a second. That means that when this measure is finished, they'll start a new song, preferably the same style as the last one.
Irish instruments are welcome. Guitars, too. ;) Deafening instruments aren't. If you play percussion, etc., make sure it's quiet enough for audience members to hear all of the other instruments, too... and this note is written by a bodhran player (so no offense intended).
Just came to Spokane on business for the first time and am very glad I went to the O'Doherty's session. Started at 9 till just after 11, and was warmly welcomed by a young group of talented musicians. Good variety of tunes (and genre) and singing. A really fun evening! -Tom

This is a fun session to go to. I was impressed at how encouraging the regulars are to invite new people in. Great session!
