Nolan’s IRISH PUB IS PROUD TO HOST TRADITIONAL IRISH MUSIC
SESSIONS every Thursday evening from 7-9pm. These are informal
gatherings for MUSICIANS (and the audience) to celebrate a common
passion for IRISH MUSIC IN THE CONFINES OF NOLAN’s relaxed and
informal setting. Whether beginners or experienced, the intent of
SESSION PLAYERS IS TO ENHANCE THE MAGIC OF THE MYSTICAL IRISH CULTURE.
The most common instruments used in IRISH TRADITIONAL MUSIC ARE THE
FIDDLE, tin whistle, bodhrán (drum), flute, and Uilleann pipes.
Instruments such as button accordion, concertina, 4-string
tenor banjo, bouzouki, and guitar were introduced in the 20th century
and are now fully accepted.These are open sessions welcome to anyone
able to play Irish music. In the spirit of tradition, there are
recognized session leaders who will help keep things on track amongst
an autonomous group of musicians. Sessions will begin with one of the
players starting a tune for others to join in who know it. Beginners
or experienced musicians unfamiliar with a song will employ proper
session etiquette by either not playing or at least quietly playing
an accompaniment part. Although the objective of these sessions is
mostly for the musicians themselves, the audience is welcome to enjoy
listening and occasionally joining in by singing and clapping along.
Sessions are meant to be a shared experience for everyone to enjoy.
