I had never been to a trad Irish session in Belfast, Peter, so I had no idea what to expect. The sessions I have attended in England and in Scotland have been a good mix of tunes from all over these Isles and beyond and have included polkas, marches and waltzes as well as some east European and klezmer music. Usually played so you can tap your feet without spraining your ankle! I stayed about 40 minutes and that was enough so I left. I am sure many enjoyed it but it was not for me. I shall not bother again and even though I may be missing something, I shall stick to stuff I know I will enjoy.
