    Here is a pretty good virtual session. Join in at any point!



    Three hours of video. No looping. All different. The Gallery Pub, Arklow, Co. Wicklow, Ireland.

    Only two tunes I recognized: Julia Delaney's and Irish Washerwoman (!!!), both near the end of the session.

    A mandolin shows up after about an hour and gets passed around among several of the participants.

    Participants come and go but the main tenor banjo player plays and drinks for the whole three hours. Near the end he picks up an idle mandolin and tries to join in on a tune. The tune was obviously in an unsuitable key so he tries to put a capo on the mandolin. Has trouble getting it on and the whole tune goes by without him getting it right. He is laughing and giggling and has a pretty ruddy looking face by the end of the video but still playing his banjo very very well.

    Somebody in the group is drinking Heinekin (!). At least it wasn't Bud Light.
