Thread Name: Are the sessions real in Ireland?
Subject: RE: Folklore: Are the sessions real in Ireland?
when I was in Ireland (in 98) seems the further I got from Dublin the friendlier the sessions were. The best were in Killarney, Miltown Malbay and the Crane in Galway, one session in Clifden was more of a singalong with tunes in between (and since the box player didnt show up my fiddle was the main instrument). (since Im originally from the Czech republic and started playing in a Scottish Dance orchestra, they thought it was funny that I was a Czech Canadian playing Irish fiddle with a Scottish style. I only had a week in Ireland but next time I will go for longer.
