Galway Sessions (11th - 17th June 2012)

Galway Sessions 2011Mundy, Curtis Blackwell & His Dixie Bluegrass Boys and the Tulla Ceilí Band are among those who will play The Galway Sessions, the annual festival of Irish trad, from Sunday June 11th to Sunday June 17th.

The Sessions are the brainchild of The Crane Bar’s Mick Crehan who is both passionate about Irish music and the links between Ireland and Scotland, so it is no surprise to see Scotland’s Kinlochard Ceili Band open the festival on Sunday 11th at 9pm with a free show.

  • Mundy
  • Curtis Blackwell (USA) & His Dixie Bluegrass Boys
