The Intermediate Irish Session welcomes musicians who have gained enough confidence in the slow session to play faster, multitune sets in the bar’s beautiful stone cellar. It is a lively, supportive space to deepen repertoire and groove together — and for the most motivated players, there is an optional 20h00-gig moment to perform two or three sets for the audience upstairs. Free admission.

Free admission.
