Pub session

Irish music enthusiasts gather at a pub to play music and drink beer

A pub session (seisiún in Irish; seisean in Scottish Gaelic; seshoon in Manx Gaelic) is performing music in the setting of a local pub, in which the music-making is intermingled with the consumption of ale, stout, and beer and conversation.[1] Performers sing and play traditional songs and tunes[1] from the Irish, English, Scottish and Manx traditions, using instruments such as the fiddle, accordion, concertina, flute, tin whistle, uilleann pipes, tenor banjo, guitar, and bodhrán.[2] Some sessions have dancing too.[3][4]
