Irish Folk Session

The Irish Folk Session is back at The Albion in Hastings on Tuesday 3 November, and it's one of those things that's easier to describe as a regular fixture than a one-off gig. It's an open session of traditional Irish music and song, hosted by experienced players who keep the evening moving, and it runs on the first and third Tuesdays of every month. If you've got your instrument and you're comfortable playing, you're welcome to join in.

Because it's an open session, the music comes from the room rather than a set list. The focus is on traditional Irish tunes and songs, and since it's hosted by experienced players, there's a steady hand guiding the night. It's a session for players to come together and play, so if you've been practicing your reels and jigs and want a place to actually use them, this is exactly that. The 'open' part means it's not just for watching — it's for playing, provided you're experienced enough to jump in.

It's a regular thing, so if you can't make this one, there's another on the third Tuesday of the month. That's the rhythm it sticks to: first and third Tuesdays, always at The Albion in Hastings. If you're into traditional Irish music and you play, it's a reliable spot to find other like-minded players in the town. The session is hosted by experienced players, and all experienced players are welcome to join in. It runs on the first and third Tuesdays of each month at The Albion in Hastings.
