Field Guide to the Irish Music Session: An Authoritative Guide to Enjoying Irish Traditional Music in Its Natural Habitat

Far from being a spontaneous free-for-all, the Irish music session is governed by a particular etiquette. Traditional Irish music is very specific: specific tunes and rhythms, played on specific instruments. Being aware of the nuances — passed from generation to generation through the institution of the session — allows the player or fan to easily follow the music. This book explains it all and includes a glossary and charming line drawings.
