Irish Seisiun (Session)
Every 2nd and 4th Thursday join us at the Barn for an Irish Session! Notably one of the largest sessions in the area we are proud to continue this tradition now in its 3rd year! Musician? Come and join in - beginner or experienced. The 250 year old Barn is the perfect venue to listen to the stings, tin whistles, accordions, bodhrans while sipping on a beer. Unlike a performance, the musicians at a seisiun are playing for enjoyment as much for each other as for anyone who comes to listen. There are a core group of players, and others who drop in now and then. In fact, we never know who will show up or what instruments they will play—all completely acoustic and unamplified bringing the barn to life organically! Usually one person will start a tune, and those who know it join in. Musicians play until they feel like stopping or switch tunes. The origin and spirit of this music is in playing for dancers. If Irish dancers drop by to this seisiun, they will be welcome, too! Feel free to make requests if you know an Irish tune. To this group of musicians, virtuosity is less valued
