Irish traditional music, song & dance. Galway. Guided.

A Session is a traditional Irish gathering where musicians, dancers, poets, and storytellers come together in an informal, lively celebration of culture. In Renvyle, a group of local artists has reimagined this beloved tradition by weaving in elements of drama. Guided by Ireland’s largest organization for the preservation of traditional music, their performance uses music, dance, and storytelling to deliver a powerful and emotional portrayal of the Great Famine’s devastating impact on the West of Ireland.

The second half of the show invites the audience to become part of the Session. Guests are encouraged to join in the fun by learning traditional Irish folk dances. In true Session spirit, those who can sing or play an instrument are warmly welcomed to take the floor and share their talents. It’s a vibrant, participatory celebration that brings Irish heritage to life in a way that is both heartfelt and unforgettable.
