Picture this: a lively circle of musicians huddled around a few tables, instruments at the ready- bright, lively fiddles, soulful tin whistles, driving Bodhran's, lilting flutes, Banjos, Guitars, and maybe Smallpipes or Uilleann pipes (Irish bagpipes). Reels and jigs played with infectious energy, and haunting slow airs or singing may give everyone a moment to catch their breath and raise a pint. It's not a concert- it's a conversation in music. Someone calls a tune, a nod and wink kicks it off, and suddenly the whole room is moving as one.
