 Irish traditional music session - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Irish traditional music sessions are mostly-informal gatherings at which people play Irish traditional music.
Sessions can be held in homes or at various public places in addition to pubs; often at a festival sessions will be got together in the beer tent or in the vendor's booth of a music-loving craftsman or dealer.
The sessions are a key aspect of traditional music; some say it is the main sphere in which the music is formulated and innovated.

 The Irish "session"
The lifestyle in which Irish music originated is almost totally gone, and before we become too nostalgic about it we should remember that it was a life of hard physical labour, grinding poverty, poor health and early death.
I suggest that unlike the songs, which were fraught with palpable meaning for the community, the session music, brought in through radio and records, while pleasant to listen to, did not bear the same meaning for the community.
At one session, at the end of the evening, some of the older singers sang began to perform songs which encapsulated what being from Newtownbutler is about, and,the moment the singing began, the whole atmosphere changed, and virtually everyone in the pub became intensely engaged.
