Where can I find a session in Dub

sirduffalotus

I'm a long-time guitar player, short-time trad player but want to get more into it so am looking for a non intimidating trad session that would have me.

Cheers in advance, and i'm open to any general tips about gettin into trad guitar, shabadahay

Here's a list of active sessions in dublin, I would recommended checking out the Cobblestone, but that is a very highstandard session.

Drop down to Darkey Kelly's on Fishamble St. any Saturday or Sunday afternoon from 5pm onwards, the guys are great and will only be too glad to let you in so they can grab a pint or a quick smoke!.

Seriously, its a grand sesson.

If you live anywhere near Phibsborough there's a nice session in The Hut there on Wednesday nights, very friendly too. Also try The Bridge Inn in Chapelizod every Friday.

Ahernes on the Old Bawn road in Tallaght have a session every tuesday night. I think all are welcome to come and play

sunny25

Aherns dont go if you value your life its dog rough!!!

damonjewel

Thats weird I've drunk in this pub for 20 odd years and never in any incident there, The place is no great shakes but its not rough, also with the smoking ban its empty most evenings so thats why they have a trad session on a tuesday to try and entice trade

sunny25

Was only there once and once was enough the police were called there was a huge fight and my friend had her bagged robbed all in the space of about 3 hours!!! So its defo not on my list of reccommendations

damonjewel

Sorry to hear that Sunny, however I was in the porterhouse a month ago on a company outing, the police came as there was a fight too and my colleague got her handbag pinched too. Ahernes certainly has had its moments in the past as any pub but I would think that your experience was a once off. We are really quite sweet in Old Bawn. Again sorry to hear about that trouble

Suaimhneach

Ah, everywhere has its moments like that. Tallaght is a good place to find some trad, my freind used to go to that session, loved it.

I play a lot in O'Donoghues. Tuesday can be very good, especially if it's not too noisy. Sunday afternoon/evenings with Joe Foley and his gang can be great craic too.
A nice session on Monday nights is in the snug of Hughes's behind the Four Courts

Deadly, I might call in for an auld listen first. Not sure if I have the cajones to join in a session unless it's to sing a song maybe.
