About the event

Discussion: What makes for a good session? Mick McAuley, Brian McDonagh & hosted by Aimée Farrell Co
For most traditional musicians, the session is the heart of public performance—an intimate, dynamic space where tunes are shared and connections are made. But what makes a session truly great?

Join us for an insightful discussion exploring the unwritten rules, etiquette, and expectations that shape these communal gatherings. From navigating tune choices to balancing participation, our panellists—seasoned musicians Mick McAuley, Brian McDonagh, and host Aimée Farrell Courtney—will unpack what makes a session welcoming, memorable, and musically fulfilling.

Whether you’re a seasoned player or new to the tradition, this conversation promises to deepen your understanding of the session as both an art form and a social experience.

Please note, Summer School students get free access to this event.
