Tipperary is a large county with a scattered session scene — the highlights are the legendary Thursday night at Jim O' The Mills in Upperchurch, the thatched Lough Derg sessions at Larkin's, and the reliable Friday circuit in Clonmel.
The county is better known for hurling than sessions, but the music has always been there — particularly in the north of the county around Nenagh and the Lough Derg shoreline, where the Clare session tradition crosses the water and takes root in Tipperary pubs.
