Traditional Sessions in Ireland
Hughes, Dublin
You’ll find trad music session in pubs all over Dublin, from the manufactured craic in Temple Bar to the folksy tunes in ever-popular O’Donoghues, but if you want to see some
serious musicians head for Hughes (19 Chancery St, Dublin 7; 01 872 6540) near
the law courts. Expect a decent pint, excellent sessions, set-dancing and
shaggy-bearded locals with misty eyes.
The Crane Bar, Galway
The music at the brightly-coloured Crane is just as it should be: no egos, no
pretension, just addictive, toe-tapping rhythms and a heartfelt love of the
craft. Few pubs have space to dance but the atmospheric old Crane is an
exception and is the best place in Galway to catch a céilí in full swing.
Willie Clancy Summer School, Co Clare
Some of the best musicians in the world gather in Miltown Malbay for Ireland’s largest traditional music school. Along
with the expert workshops at this eight-day event are lectures, recitals,
céilís and exhibitions. Day and night the pubs are jammed and music comes from
every direction as informal sessions pop up in the town’s bars and spill out
onto the streets and into people’s homes.
De Barra Folk Club, Clonakilty
Flutes, fiddles, bodhráns, pipes and mandolins cover the walls at this temple
of traditional music in Co. Cork. De Barra’s with its vibrant but easy-going attitude
offers intimate gigs in the sitting room (really), a purpose-built auditorium
and a long list of big-name regulars.
MacDiarmada’s, Doolin
Tucked away in the wilds of west Clare is a one horse town with three great
music pubs. Lots of musicians live in this uniquely rocky area and MacDiarmada’s is the locals’ favourite. If it’s
standing room only head for nearby McGann’s or O’Connor’s, though there’s no
guarantee of a seat there either.
An Spailpín Fánach, Cork
Sitting just across the road from the Beamish brewery, you’re guaranteed a
decent pint at the old-world Spailpín Fánach, The Wandering Labourer, (28 South
Main St, Cork; Ph: 021 427 7949). Much loved by locals for its laid-back
sessions, open fires and snug corners, it’s the place to quietly nurse a pint,
join the craic or just nod in the corner and let the melody waft over you.
Tí Joe Watty’s, Kilronan
Take a trip to Tí Joe Watty’s on Inis Móir, the largest of the Aran
Islands, and you’re almost guaranteed a jig. This is one of the island’s oldest
and most traditional pubs, with trad sessions every night in summer and a
mellow atmosphere that’s lets the tourists shake a leg. Purists might object
to the come-al-ye attitude but there’s no arguing with the music.
Leos Tavern, Crolly, Donegal
The enigmatic, undulating rhythms of Enya and Clannad wooed the world in the
1980s and Tábhairne Leo (Leo’s Tavern; www.leostavern.com) is where their sound
was born. Set between the Atlantic Ocean and the rugged peak of Mount Errigal,
it’s a place for legendary sessions and glitters with the gold and platinum
discs of Leo’s famous children.
