An Droichead Beag
Manager : Tom The Gabha
Tel. 066 915 17 23

Started with traditional music sessions on weekends due to
the owners & patrons love for traditional music. It grew from two nights
a week to every night of the year, sometimes two sessions per night.
We were always looking for some excuse to get our local and our
famous Irish traditional musicians in, just to listen to them making
music and lift our hearts and emotions.
We have had such mighty sessions in the Music Corner of our pub that
we decided to put it on CD and called it Mighty Session which
has got fantastic reviews from different Music Magazines and Music
Critics in Ireland. To us Traditional Irish Music is food for the Soul and
Irish Set Dancing is food for the Heart !
