Impromptu Irish Music Session

[getridofthetonedeaf]

Comhaltas sessiuns are too regimented, therefore, despite the quality of the musicians, can be very lifeless. Shame!

I was in a pub a while ago, and a group like this came in, sat next to us, and started playing some epic Irish music! All pubs should be like this - what an atmosphere!

[MaggieMuffet]

That was a nice group session!

the grandpa with the banjo is the best guy xD

[MrPitAdVitam]

Irish music will never die!

[squided]

y'man here's got a point, as sessions go the passion isn't as noticable as a lot i've sat in. that's not to knock the players or anything just seems like something is missing. to be honest i think it might be the venue, it's too big for the sessions i enjoy.

[shteamroller]

This was an impromptu session where those playing probably never played  together before, it turned out excellent and it would appear everyone enjoyed it,

(you wont find passion in a crowd that size - go for the soloist).

[Aberelimar]

you may mistake passion with emotion?

[PatrickVMadden]

You are witnessing pure passion. Listen don't look.

[LibertyOf1776]

It's either "the stoat that ATE me sandals" or "mammy's horse is diein'" LOL (neither are actual name)

[bluetality]

[StrawbsShadow]

Great, help spread a dumb stereotype, why didnt you mention the lack of leprechauns in the vid?

[nottoberemembered]

All stereotypes have some truth, red hair is more common in Ireland than anywhere else.

[StrawbsShadow]

Yeah but cmon, I dont look at american vids & say where are all the fat people..

[folanm]

No it isn't. Scotland has the highest percentage of red heads in the world, followed by the Irish.

[no5eyparker]

@folanm hmmm Turkey / Syria etc has more red heads than either.. lol
