Session

Mid-week trad in Maynooth — close enough to Dublin to pull in visiting musicians, far enough that the crowd is genuinely local.

French music session. Mostly music in the traditional style from Central France and Brittany.

Friendly session aimed more towards the advanced player.

Owned by Enya’s family in the Gaeltacht heartland. Saturday nights feature live traditional music. Worth the drive through the Gweedore hills.

A warm, cosy, and friendly bar with local musicians playing Irish traditional music. Weekly sessions are held all year round and all musicians are welcome.

“Live @ The Globe” takes place every second Thursday and features an evening of contemporary acoustic music, led by experienced performer Peter Michael Rowan. The night is aimed at fans of songwriters and contemporary folk. Attendees are welcome to listen, join in, and play their own songs. The pub is a cosy, warm space that lends itself well to a night with no microphones or amplifiers — just songs, guitars, and other instruments. Musical influences include James Taylor, Jake Bugg, Joni Mitchell, KT Tunstall, Laura Marling, and David Gray. Traditional songs and popular covers and tunes are also welcome; nothing is specifically excluded. ...

Liverpool Sea Shanty Session Hosted By Trim Rig and A Doxy, Mick & Mary McGarry and Andy Kenna. The session is in the Pig & Whistle First Saturday of every month - 8.30pm onwards. Free Entry.

Nice atmosphere.
