From: michaelr I'll be in Dingle on September 7 (Wed) and 8 (Thurs) and would appreciate current info on trad sessions for those nights. The following night (Friday Sept 9) I want to go to Clare. Please let me know which town (and pub) has a good Friday night session. Thanks! |

From: GUEST Recommending 'sessions' is always, I feel, strongly dependent on the expectations of the person you're recommending a particular location to. I have been told off very harshly after making recommendations for very fine sessions because 'the musicians were paid'. Well, wake up 99% of regular sessions have a few people who are hired to turn up and make sure things move along. On the other hand, there are some lovely quiet places where music is played that would not appreciate much being invaded by all comers after advertised on the interwebs. We have Jackie Daly on Friday nights, FWIW. |

19 Jul 16 - 10:20 AM (#3801025) Subject: RE: Updated sessions in Dingle/Clare? From: leeneia Hi, Michael. We went to Ireland several years ago and at that time, there was hardly any info on the net about sessions. We found the best sources were hotels, who want to accommodate guests, and the local tourist office, the "i". Ask for traditional music. We attended a session in Ennis, and the bar was packed to the gills. (Almost nobody was listening.) Perhaps that's why sessions aren't on the Internet; they'd be overwhelmed. |

From: FreddyHeadey Dingle Here is a map of Dingle pubs,2016 - open in the browser use the search box and type in 'music'. It should list anywhere mentioning music(on this map). There is a shout on TripAdvisor... "Try to get hold of a West Kerry Live, a free fortnightly colour magazine, easier said than done as they go like hot cakes. (2016... Next one is 18th August, then 1st Sept, 15th Sept, 29th Sept.) Everything is listed there.

11 Aug 16 - 05:59 AM (#3804550) Subject: RE: Updated sessions in Dingle/Clare? From: GUEST,kenny Just a thought to the OP - are you looking for sessions to join in, or to listen to ? I was in Ennis on the Friday night before the Willie Clancy week. There are 2 leaflets you can get from the local tourist office. One is called "The Ennis Trad Trail" which lists 2 sessions every night of the week apart from Monday and Tuesday which lists one on each evening. Another leaflet - "The Ennis Whiskey Trail" - lists 5 bars as having traditional music but doesn't say which nights. I found 4 sessions on the Friday night, but didn't join in - content just to listen. The playing standard is quite high. |
