The Sunday Session: Real Irish Trad Music With The Locals

Traditional Irish Music is getting harder to find in Dublin unfortunately. Yes, you'll hear it in Temple Bar & the Brazen Head, but that's Irish music performed for tourists, not by Irish people for Irish people.

We can only do this on Sundays because that's when these trad bands play. They're working during the week, Sunday is their day off.

That's how you know it's real & that's what makes it special. Hearing Irish ballads sung for the love of music, not by a tired journeyman singing Galway Girl for the fifth time today.

It's the difference between seeing an animal in the zoo and in the wild.

Every song in Ireland has a story behind it. Usually a sad one. This is Ireland. I'll explain the background of each song. You'll watch as we all know the words to every song. Young, old, guys, girls. We're raised on these songs. It's our history.

I can't tell you where we're going because I don't want them ruined. I've removed all mention of them from my website.

We'll meet in a central part of Dublin at 7:30pm on a Sunday and go to three pubs in Dublin filled with musicians playing Irish music.

I know I'm being secretive but you're going to have to trust me a bit here. You'll be glad you did.

It's a 2.5 hour private tour. €150 for 4 people.

"The Sunday Session tour was the greatest night of the entire year. It was everything I came to Ireland for. The crowd were hilarious and friendly and wild. I loved them. Six months later, I think about it every Sunday & I wish I was there"
