Sessioning

Brighton is blessed with plenty of traditional Irish music sessions. You need some kind of almanac to keep track of when they���re on. Some are on once a month. Some are twice a month. Some are every two weeks (which isn���t the same as twice a month, depending on the month).

Sometimes when the stars align just right, you get a whole week of sessions in a row. That���s what happened last week with sessions on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. I enjoyed playing my mandolin in each of them. There was even a private party on Saturday night where a bunch of us played tunes for an hour and a half.

There���s nothing quite like playing music with other people. It���s good for the soul.
