TRADITIONAL MUSIC

Traditional Music

Music and social life are inextricably linked in Mayo. Thus a tradition of impromptu ‘sessions’ still thrives and, on any night of the week, in pubs all around the county musicians will be found, instruments in hand, joining the informal performances. One of the important roles sessions play is that of allowing musicians of all levels to play and sing together, honing their skills and learning tunes from the more experienced.
