About this experience

Live Music in Kilmurvey is a traditional Irish music session held in the village of Kilmurvey on Inishmore, the largest of the Aran Islands. Sessions take place in the local pub, featuring fiddles, flutes, and accordions played by island musicians. The music runs most evenings during the summer season, with the exact schedule set by the pub on the day.

What to expect

  • Sessions typically run for two to three hours, starting around 9:30 PM in the pub's main bar
  • Listeners sit at wooden tables within arm's length of the musicians, with no stage or amplification
  • The repertoire includes jigs, reels, and slow airs passed down through Aran Island families
  • Visitors may join in with singing or bring their own instrument to sit in, if invited by the lead player
  • The session suits adults and older children who enjoy close-up, unplugged folk music in a small room
  • Pints of stout and glasses of whiskey are served throughout, with no cover charge or ticket required
