    I have a few visitors from aboard this weekend and was wondering if there is any Pub in Wexford Town (or even a little bit outside) that has some trad' irish music on.
    I am not looking for a singer, who covers songs from the 80s/90s. I was thinking of more traditional Irish songs, even preferable a band.

    I know the tourist season is over but maybe one of yous has a good idea on where to bring the guys. It can be either Saturday or/and Sunday.

    Your help is much appreciated.

    Maggie Mays has trad music from Daithi Kavanagh and friends Sunday nights. I'm not sure if anywhere else has trad on a Saturday and Sunday but if your visitors do end up staying in Wexford an extra day there are great trad sessions in the Loch and Quay and Mocking Monck every Monday night. Hope that helps! :)

    Where the Mocking Monck?? Loch and Quay a good spot, Sky and the Ground used to do music during the week but not sure whether they still do as not been there in a good while(Damn Fishchers hangovers take about 4 days to clear!!)

    Maggies sessions usually start about 8pm on a Sunday....will be down there next weekend....

    Hi there.

    Thanks everyone for the info. I think I'll be settling for Maggie Mays. My visitors a OAP's and I don't think they would enjoy the Sky and the Ground ( too packed) .

    I've heard its meant to be raining for the weekend, so if someone has any ideas where I can bring the folks let me know, feel free post. I dont want them out for a long period of time in the rain.
    (Hook head, loftus hall are already in on the list)

    Sky not a good choice. Very little trad there. I believe the John Barry (small pub on the quay next to the Talbot Hotel) has trad at weekends but can't swear on it.

    Sunday afternoon from I think about 12.30 the Centenary Stores has a great trad session. Plus if warm the music is outdoors. Very much an under appreciated weekly occurrence.
