First trad session visit checklist
Verify the session with its host, arrive ready to observe, and let the musicians and venue set the tone.
Before you go
- Confirm the session directly with the venue or named host.
- Ask about access, seating, admission or booking when any of those points matters to you.
- Keep the current source link and recheck it before travelling.
When you arrive
Give the room time before choosing where to stand or sit. Avoid blocking musicians, staff routes or other visitors. If you want to record, photograph, request a tune or join in, ask rather than treating one session’s custom as a rule for every session.
If you brought an instrument
Listen first and follow the host musicians’ invitation or guidance. A public listing does not automatically make every gathering an open session, and skill level or instrument fit cannot be inferred from a directory description.
Afterwards
If a listing was inaccurate, send the venue a neutral correction request and tell Sesh.ie what source now contradicts it. Do not post personal assumptions about who organises the session.
