About this experience

Live Music in Doonmore is a traditional Irish music session held in the village of Doonmore on Inishbofin Island. Local musicians gather in the island's pubs to play fiddle, flute, and accordion tunes. The session runs most evenings during the summer season and welcomes listeners of all ages.

What to expect

  • Sessions typically begin around 9:30 PM and last for two hours in the island's main pub.
  • You will hear a rotation of reels, jigs, and slow airs played by resident and visiting musicians.
  • The format is informal: musicians sit in a circle, and listeners sit close by, often sharing tables.
  • Singing of sean-nós songs occurs between instrumental sets on some nights.
  • The session suits adults and families, though the pub atmosphere is lively and may be busy after 10 PM.
  • No cover charge is applied, but buying a drink or snack supports the venue and the musicians.
