Next time I'm in Arklow, I'll know which Pub to avoid.
And we will know what keyboard warrior not to admit entry. Bar with yourself, what do you play?
Stick your cooking, and your partnership with Ronnie Drew, you know where.

dude this might be one of the better pubs! just have fun if you go there.
I’m afraid you must not have a musical mind ,,,,,,,git back tae yir nood books
I'm playing along with my mandolin enjoying "being" part of the session. Nothing beats a group of friends jamming. Cheers from Idaho, USA.
❤Love your work Fergal. Perth West Australia
Wonderful, I really miss this at the moment. My family would go to Mass, eat Sunday dinner then pick up the instruments and off to the session. I consider myself very lucky to have been raised this way. Great memories. Thank you
It's like going home to a place I've never been before...
Oh what a truly beautiful & precious msg, so too, your memories of life with your family back then. Peace, light & joy sent your way. x
Duchàs if I'm not mistaken...
@@Michael-bf1dt thank you. We always had music around the house. I've played a few fun sessions here (I sing and play guitar and tin whistle). Done a few shows. But it's the place, the people... I still have family there although we have lost touch. One day I'll get to sit in on a real session. 💚🇮🇪
@@Michael-bf1dt I've a cousin who moved i believe back to the family farm in nenagh, tipperary. But when my father died all the addresses and that were lost. Another distant cousin I'm in touch with from time to time, and a dear friend from Antrim
Magic got us all up and dancing around the grandkids thought t wonderful best way of exercising on rainy day
can't stop tapping my feet
When the world opens up again may they enjoy music like this
We ll see you there!
One of the best live music experiences I've ever had in my life was when I was an early teen and my family and I went to a small island in Greece. Without knowing it, we had decided to stay there during a yearly festival. For the entire week we were there, there were musicians all over the island who showed up to give small concerts. The best one was on a small town square where an ancient olive tree grew. The entire city was built on the side of a mountain so this town square was more like a platform of sorts. In front of the olive tree a little Irish band played Irish folk music all night. Tourists and locals and started dancing zorba together and I filmed some of it on my phone... but this was back in the 2000s so the recording looks and sounds horrible. It's a great memory though.
As a Greek who loved her time in Country Carlow this is very heartwarming
@@viciouslady1340 Your country means a lot me and my family! My dad used to buy casette tapes with Greek folk music on them during our vacations and would play them every morning in his car on the way to work. I was lucky enough to go visit Kalymnos with my mom before covid. My family and I used to visit Kalymnos a lot in the 90s and it had been well over 20 years since last time we went there. I was so amazed how much everything looked the same. I even found the exact tree on Telendos that my sister and I had been climbing as toddlers. I'm in my 30s now.
Even though I only spent my childhood summers in Greece, I still feel like the nature and the culture is a very important part of my identity. It's like a second home and I was so happy to go be able to smell the same smells and hear the same sounds and see the same places that have stayed with me since childhood.
How itterly unique are life experiences... you were
Blessed to be the right
person at the right
moment
and place...
There is a very strong
connection between
Greek folk esp. Cypriot
and island music &
the celts music.
There is an ancient
connection between
all celts and Greece.
Good drink, good music, good people. Doesn't get better then that, and its completely organic. Best thing about this, no one peering endlessly and mindlessly into a phone!!!
Heineken is probable better in the Netherlands.
Heineken is probably better in the Netherlands. Not a stout in sight here, bad taste
I'm in the states and; of Irish, Scottish decent. I remember as a child, folks gathered in the old country store/gas station in the evenings to play music. It didn't matter who you were or what instrument you played, you were welcome. I appreciate you putting this out for all to enjoy. Great job!
My fathers side of my heritage was from welsh descendants. They travelled to America back in the 1740's and were farmers.
Whoever put this up, thank you very much. It's a delight and it made my afternoon.
You are most welcome.
Watching it this St.Patrick's, 2024. Ty.
@@tracyannbielhy9794Great idea !
Just wonderful !!!
I am from a huge Irish family in Britain, and I so wish you were round the corner playing , Never stop this wonderful Irish music 💚🍀💚🍀
I'm french and fond of irish music : I find it quite incredible that you all can play such excellent music, just while the cars are passing along, with public attending quietly. I know no other example !
The Gaels have a much longer history than you know! All of your country including parts of Spain were once Celtic. Its no wonder this music resonates with you 👍
Well, we also love the French & their beautiful country & culture too. So much culture in France, especially the stunning architecture & the very good food! :-) Also, here's the fact, French peoples, they are of true & genuine Celtic stock. The true Celts, they originated from what today is Austria & they passed through Northern Italy, down to Southern Italy, then across into Spain & France. The French & Austrian (Germanic) DNA are so closely similar, that even experts cannot really tell them apart, hence why within all DNA results, French & German DNA, are always placed together. Also, i have many French friends, who've taken their DNA test & contrary to popular belief, they do carry fairly large amounts of English, Irish, Scottish DNA, so too, substantial %'s of Scandinavian DNA. If anyone requires proof, just type into you tube, French DNA results. Sure, there's been the Roman influences too, but most French peoples, no matter whereby in France they hail, but specifically in Northern France, Normandy & Brittany, definitely do carry larger amounts of English, Irish & Scandinavian ancestry. As the saying goes.....People can lie & get things wrong, but our inner DNA, that does not lie.
God only knows how many pints of beer they have already consumed before this session. I really love and appreciate the Irish folk music and culture I'm proud be say that I'm from the Emerald Isle
hem i heard some stamping feet in the end... i think the public might be more actively involved then you think
Je suis au Québec et je passe un merveilleux moment avec vous ! MERCI et BRAVO !
Thank you for Excellent music well done 🎉🎉🎉❤😊.
Great session guys for all us in lock down sat with a pint and joined in well done brilliant. Good editing too no gaps in the music.
Love the reel ! ]
Thanks for putting up this long recording. I'm sitting here drinnking my homebrew and am somehow in an Irish pub with live music
You are true artists. I love Irish people. My dream is to go to Ireland.
It's real and it's beautiful
I always come back to this .Who is the whistle player.. I've never seen anything like him...Love Trad,Guinness and Ireland!
I would love to be at such a beautiful traditional Irish music session! Like from Romania!
You are more than welcome one we have this pandemic behind us.
Yes pack your bags and come over
Thank for share, kiss from France ;)
I am from the Midwest USA and have developed a love of the music/culture/ etc of Ireland and Scotland. I have ancestry from Donegal
Me too matey, from Australia of scots/ irish ancestry. Catholic mother, protestant old man, made for a very lively Christmas lunch.
wish all best to you! ope
Thats what makes America so appealing people from vastly different backgrounds but can proudly proclaim to be Americans. Founding out about your heritage is fascinating and should be celebrated everyday.
Bonjour, Je suis chanteuse d'opéra professionnelle, fan de musique traditionnelle celte depuis mon enfance et juste maintenant, je fabrique des bijoux en vous écoutant et j'ai l'impression que nous sommes tous dans ma cuisine et que je pourrais cuisiner pour nous tous, sans stress, sans jugement, juste pour le plaisir d'être ensemble. Vous êtes cool et votre musique caresse mon âme !! MERCI
Count me in for the meal 😂
maryseult je te comprends parfaitement .
Dad's from Dublin, I grew up in the Boston area. Every Friday we'd do Elvis Presley and Irish folk music, sounds like an odd combination, but we had loads of fun! Order in a pizza, run around the house to music playing with the dog while dad sat on his corner chair smoking his Benson's having a beer. Fun memories. This music is fantastic.
I love these songs.
I just love it! Honey for my ears :-)
A beathifull music,hello from A Coruña,Galician,Spain land of "Tanxuqueiras"😉😉,live celtic music
Happy Day ! lovely and steady !
LOVE THIS AS i HAVEN'T BEEN AT A SESSION FOR NEARLY 10 MONTHS NOW
I would "like" this session ninety-nine times over if I could. Fantastic!
Keep watching. 😃
I did all day on st pats and since....a fiddler singer missing our seisuns over here in PA USA!
Great musicianship and a very good singer - enjoy this session each time I return to it.
Thoroughly enjoyed your Irish Pub session. Great musicians and great environment. Thank you for sharing and God bless everyone from Patrick
What a blessing! I've had the opportunity to travel from Dublin to Galway a few times. Along the way, I found a few gems as this session and count them as communal and personal treasures that warm the heart on the coldest of days. As the wise say:
May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face;
the rains fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again.
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.
I wish I had been there ,,,,,what a great bunch of talented players ,,,,,more of the same please
Great stuff
It's a damn good thing you've uploaded this, I miss hearing music in person.
I love these songs
woah wait , why there only 25 comments?? and not even 100k views?? this deserves way more traction!
Spread my gospel, like and subscribe please.
@@CianODonnell i'll sub but you shouldnt ask for stuff like that. Normally youtubers will only ask for that within the video or in a pinned comment or within the description. Just sayin.
Have just kept this in the background during the day while working. Nice session, gents
Awesome gig! Having a few and enjoying this
Happy Paddys Day. Cheers. ☘
Aaahh...always a treat to hear Irish tenor banjo. Well, I love the whole package, the fiddle and other instruments, too. But there is something about the way the banjo punctuates the tune that gets me every time, especially if being played at a dance. Gives purchase for the feet, as one tenor banjo once player I know once described it.
Well done, thanks for sharing!
Be still, my beating heart...from Canada, I hear an ancestral sound and presented in a most 'welcome home' way. Thank you. I have a vision of many of the 'new' music/art/theatre scenes...moving back to a central 'home town' place...a heart place....leaving the huge/techno/concert/shows behind...yes please...
Great stuff - I would normally travel from Norway to Ireland a couple times a year to try to locate trad sessions like this , but given the situation this is a great alternative for now - I really enjoyed the mix of the familiar and the odd tunes from Mr. Banjo player...
I love these sessions. My father's father was half English and half Scottish, and my father's mother was Irish. I live in England, but belong to all three. We celebrate what our heritage is regardless of where we live.
I'm back again. Listening to this music while finishing the work week is the best transition to a happy weekend with family and friends.
2.05.00 the man singing puts me in mind of Luke Kelly. This is the best compilation of Irish singing pure Ireland that I've ever seen... absolutely beautiful all the way through!! Makes me miss home so much!
Soooooooo beautiful, I wish I could have it again like this.....................after Corona
I really love this! Reminds me of the great local sessions I got to and enjoy when I visited County Kerry in 1998. Wish I could go back.
Saludos desde Argentina. Me encanta su música. Siempre los escucho cuando quiero estar feliz
NICE!
The Irish came to Peterborough Ontario Canada & we love this music. Hugs & kisses to you all!
Irish built Ontario, my GG grandfather among them.
holy moly these musicians are amazing and irish music is beautiful!
Thank you for sharing! If we can't be there it is still fun to watch. God bless all from Patrick
BRILLIANT!
All that us missing is that b great Bango player John Johan.we miss him here on Galway Rest in peace Dear John.
Another great trad music session. I live in Austin, TX, so we don't have anything like this, but my neighbors and I gather on the weekends to have a smoke, drink a beer, and break out the guitar to sing some songs. We lack the depth of musical instruments and experience but it's a fun time. Right I am working from home and these musicians are keeping me company. Thanks Cian!
Enjoyed that one, great fun ☀️
That’s my family’s town arklow I’ve got auntys and uncles and cousins all over I’ve got to get my arse over there this year .
lovely
It reminds me of a music session started by accident in a pub of Dublin where everybody was standing, including some musicians, like the Irish drums player who impressed me very much! It belongs to my good memories and you helped me to recall them .
I’m in Australia and of Irish descent, this melts my heart with warmth and love. 😊❤
Im non Irish. But i've been singing irish songs for years. Idk i just love Ireland a lot. I hope to visit the blessed land soon.
Same from New Zealand 💕
Brilliant Ladd's! ☘️☘️☘️❤️
Love it, has to be the only pub where you can play darts lying on your back lol, not for the faint of heart and top of the morning to you.
No amount if CZcams can't replace real fellas, in a real pub banging it out live and fresh. Music from the essence of Irish existence. If ya javent got goosepimples. Get a goose
Well COVID has prevented that,hasnt it?
@@CianODonnell try and stop us lol.... Been pissing iff the neighbours here in UK . Not just playing music.... Singing my rendition. My clan from Longford. Tje singing in this family is pure Star Wars. Its the force dude
@@CianODonnell cian send me a sage email... I'll visit. Genuinely
Right during or before the pandemic! WE all should be grateful we can now get back to hearing any session. I rather hear music than silence.
Crazy how the banjo went from Africa, from the hands of the enslaved, all the way to Appalachia, to the hands of Irish immigrants, then back to Ireland to the hands of men in pubs. What a wild ride that sound has had.
The real history is even more convoluted but equally interesting.
Just bloody brilliant,if only I could play something there, I would till my arms dropped off.
Thanks for posting .. I've sat in a few sessions in Texas, with Alamo HOOT harmonica club and at The Silver Dollar in Bandera ... a little different flavor music but always a good time. Thanks again !
I love this music.
Super kool! Ukulele HollyBloe USA
16:42 blessed praise from the pipes ❤️🩹
Mighty sound .. great seisún
Brilliant 🙌🙌
Beautiful Ireland always wanted visit 💜💜💜
See you at the next session.
Good guitar playing guys...really backing the tune
Just finished a zoom, Strings Entwined session here in Dundee, Scotland, and got to your page through the song, For Ireland I Won't say Her Name, so great to see an Irish pub session again, can't wait to get back for a week or two, maybe join in this time. Keep up the great work.
Banjo player 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉love it best I've seen
Don't tell him that,he has a big enough ego as it is! 😂😂😂😂
Humans are wild animals, free and resilient. This is what this music says to me. When they come for me, they will have to take my fiddle from my cold dead fingers. Play well, play with all your heart. Well done!
Where are you based?
Don't let them take you fiddle, give them you tunes first!
Thank you for posting this for those of us who may never get to experience it in person. It's wonderful!
No problem.
Absolutely Gorgeous. I have recently fallen in love with your countries music and hope to take in some of these trad sessions in person when things get back to normal; much love from the Yukon in Canada
I loved every minute of this videos music!!! Loved it!
thank you for this video. Last time I went to Ireland was for a festival in Kilkenny. wish I could go back ^^'
Great to have a session to ‘join’ ( play along with), As close an experience of a proper real life session that we can hope for in current times. The way it’s filmed, with minimal editing, and 3 hours long, helps the ‘being there’ illusion. Especially when watching on a large screen and with decent sound. I even found myself getting a bit annoyed by the tuning getting a bit out at times ...... and no one took any notice when I suggested we stop for a tune up. It just made it feel all the more ‘real’. Love it!
Cheers Graham, I do aim for the cinema vérité approach.
plenty of pints to go around 🍻
I love the Irish.
Ach! I'm of Scottish and Irish descent and grew up very disconnected to my Irish heritage but very much connected to my Scots heritage (My family was obsessed with going to Highland Games here in the States). I'm reconnecting to my Irish heritage and saw that sessions are a huge part of Irish culture and good god seeing these happening make my blood sing in the best way possible, I would love to join in on some of these, makes me want to learn traditional Irish Music just to partake... I'm so happy that this was put out there to enjoy, these are such lovely numbers!
16:42 "The Gold Ring", "Humours of Ennistymon", "Drops of Brandy".
Wonderful Irish music!!! ♥
I love that guy John's banjo playing style. Real strong picking, no frills, perfect triplets. I find other players like Gerry O'Connor to sometimes be too busy. They can sometimes lose the base notes of the tune.
Is that you John? 😅
😂
Absolutely brilliant banjo.
Amazing - and all playing from memory.
Great session 🍺
Great stuff altogether! It came up on ‘CZcams recommended’ for me as I had been watching Transatlantic Sessions programmes over the past week. When I saw it was Arklow I thought I’d give it a go as I’m from nearby Courtown,do some work in Dunnes and Tesco in Arklow. Thought I might spot someone I know coming in the pub! I was captivated from the moment the music started and watched the entire video! Brilliant stuff,I was having a few beers myself and really getting into the vibe. Loved it. When I woke up this morning it was like I had spent the evening in the pub,was still in a great mood. There’s no need for staycations in Dingle, Doolin or Donegal when you have the craic like this! Will definitely take a trip out when pubs are open again,will even stay local B&B to make a night of it 😁
Great to hear Larry,see you at the next one!
WOW. Very beautiful music, i like it. I'm french but Irish Hearth and when i come in Ireland, i like come in a Pub with real player of this nice music. Last time, eat in Gallery but no see you. For next time, follow your site for come when you play in a pub for lesson you.
Ill let you know in advance the next time we are there.
@@CianODonnellthanks and good luck for U
This is a great thing you're doing - it's the next best thing to being there, which I hope to do someday. Thank you.
Oh good Lord - cannot wait to return to Ireland - Miss it so! Love this!
See you at the next performance!
❤❤❤ love it Tim cussen xxxxxxx🎉🎉🎉🎉
Andy Serkis plays a pretty mean banjo
I'll make sure to pass on your observation.
