Irish traditional music has been popularised by The Chieftains, The Dubliners and The Pogues. It's no coincidence that all three bands have a reputation as hard playing party animals. Irish music is a soulful, often raucous expression of feelings and a central piece of The Craic, the art of having a good time. Traditional music is not a stiff, reverential form of art. It is alive and kicking all over Dublin, played by teenagers in hoodies and withered old-timers in suits alike. To really appreciate the music, you have to hear it live in a Dublin pub. Round off your visit to Dublin with a traditional Irish music session for a good time and some unforgettable memories. The most likely way you will come across traditional Irish music in Dublin is a pub session. Typically three to five, often more players cram into a corner of the pub and play music throughout the evening. There is no formal programme or set list for a session. The musicians will discuss songs and often one player will suggest a tune and teach it to the others on the spot.īear in mind that a session is not a concert. The musicians will only play when they feel like it and the locals in the pub will go about their business as usual. While the pub will fall practically silent during a tune, particularly if well played, the noise goes back up once the song is finished. The breaks between songs can last a good while, with conversations going on and pints being ordered and emptied down thirsty musicians' throats. Pubs do not typically charge for sessions. But if you like what you hear, follow the local tradition and buy the musicians a round of drinks. There is no obligation, however, and you can just as well enjoy the music without putting your hand in your pocket. Some venues which run a regular session programme or invite big name players may have a cover charge in place. The session has a special place in the context of traditional Irish music, which developed organically over the centuries. Tunes are seldom written down and largely exist in the heads of the players alone. Tunes then get passed on from one player to the next at sessions. The styles of playing are very personalised and can differ hugely between individuals. Before the arrival of radio and sound recordings, Irish music was very regionalised as players would typically not wander far beyond the borders of their county or even parish so styles would develop in isolation. That's why a good session is more than a concert. It is a meeting of players where music is created on the spot and - on an exceptionally good night - something new is added to the canon of Irish music for future play. Traditional Irish music is a largely instrumental affair and vocalists are a rare sighting at sessions. Watch out for a sean-nós session (see below) if you are in the mood to listen to some singing. The instruments used during a session are almost exclusively acoustic. Traditionally, few places would have bothered with microphones and PA systems, so the instruments favoured by session players have a natural ability to cut through the din of a lively pub. ![]()
