Open session of traditional Irish folk music played by experienced musicians at The Albion heritage pub on the Hastings seafront.
The Albion hosts its Irish folk session on Tuesday 1 December, part of the pub's regular run of acoustic nights in the Old Town. It's an open session, hosted by experienced players, and anyone who plays is welcome to join in. If you're not playing, it's just as easy to sit and listen.
The Albion is a heritage pub on the seafront in Hastings Old Town, listed in the CAMRA Good Beer Guide and known for its award-winning selection of 'proper' pies made on-site. It works as a cultural hub as much as a pub: live bands play on select Saturday evenings, a DJ set runs every Saturday from 4 to 7 PM, and Tuesday nights are reserved for acoustic sessions. The Irish folk session is one of those, and the night can range from traditional Irish music to skiffle and New Orleans jazz.
Because it's an open session, the music comes from the people who turn up rather than a set list. The hosts keep things moving, and the welcome extends to anyone who wants to pull up a chair and play. If you're just there for the music, you'll find plenty of company to keep you going throughout the evening.

If you fancy a bit of food before or after, the pub's pies are made on the premises. Just outside on the seafront, there's also a pasty shack serving homemade pasties, including a popular crab variety and a traditional Cornish one. The session is on Tuesday 1 December at The Albion in Hastings.
