What is a traditional Irish session? 🇮🇪

A traditional Irish session (or seisiún) is an informal gathering of musicians playing Irish traditional music together in a relaxed, often social setting like a pub or home. Musicians, usually seated in a circle, play jigs, reels, and other tunes on instruments such as fiddles, flutes, pipes, banjos, and concertinas. 🎶
