Traditional Music Pubs
Most of these pubs have regular traditional entertainment only in July/August, fewer throughout the year where the sessions tend to be more irregular. Also the musicians might not show up before 10 - 10:30 pm. Guests with traditional instruments are welcome on many sessions - but not everywhere!
