A number of sessions in Sligo are called "traditional Irish sessions" and the local info bureau told me it was a drop-in jam session, but it's not. It was a local band that played their own established sets and allowed a couple of others to join in on a tune or two. This is a very popular session - the place was packed, but it's more of a show with mics, amplifiers, etc.
Was there 3/31/08. It was definitely not a session per se, but the music was great(both songs and tunes) , and the musicians and patrons very welcoming. My daughter danced the last set of reels, and was warmly received. One of my fondest memories of our trip to Ireland, and one of the reasons I can't wait to return to Sligo.
