And what’s the layout of the pub? Session and carousers in the bar, drinkers and conversationalists in the lounge, and grumpy old men in the snug. That sounds about right though the snug may get a little crowded from time to time.
They are allowed outside in the beer garden if accompanied by a responsible adult (and we all know anyone with a whistle can’t be classed as responsible).
At the first part of the session
I was listening to all the tunes,
there were fiddles, guitars, zooks and things,
there were bodhráns, bones and spoons.
The first thing I met was a whistle with chiff
and a banjo with no back,
the beer was hot and the chips were stale,
but I’ve never had such craic!
Oh I’ve been to a session at a pub with no name,
it felt good to be out of the rain.
At a session you can remember your tunes
'cause there ain’t no one there
who can’t play your tunes.
After two days of playing The Kesh
My eyes began to turn red
After three days of playing The Kesh
I was looking at the Bodhraner’s head
And the story it told how bad his rhythm flowed
Made me sad to think he weren’t dead
Oh I’ve been to a session at a pub with no name,
it felt good to be out of the rain.
At a session you can remember your tunes
'cause there ain’t no one there
who can’t play your tunes.
