Bluegrass Session at the Cobblestone

One of my favorite places in Dublin is the Cobblestone. It is a great place to enjoy a wonderful pint and listen to some great traditional music.

The music sessions at the Cobblestone are open, which means anyone can join in (and is encouraged to do so). It also means there is not set list of songs and the musicians do not have microphones. As you can images, the lack of a PA system encourages people to gather around the musicians.

On this particular Saturday afternoon, there is a blue grass session that goes on. Although not strictly traditional Irish music, bluegrass music does have its roots in traditional Irish music. The music is great and the pints are like mother's milk. Not a bad way to start of a Saturday evening.
