What's the sesh in Meath?

The Royal County has more ancient sites than sessions — but the sessions that do run in Navan and Kells have a quiet consistency that rewards the visitor who finds them.

Meath is often overlooked by trad visitors who head for Clare or Galway, but the county has its own musical character shaped by its position at the crossroads of Dublin, Louth, Westmeath, and Cavan. The Book of Kells town of Kells has maintained its Friday session through decades of population change.

Navan's most-mentioned trad night. Thursday sessions in a town-centre pub — good mix of Boyne Valley regulars and the odd passing musician.

Friday trad session

at McCormack's Bar · Kells, Co. Meath

In the Book of Kells town. Friday sessions in a pub that's been running them longer than anyone can remember — ask the barman, he'll shrug and say 'always'.
