Irish Pub Sessions from Wild Atlantic Way Ireland
So you’ve mastered some tunes and you’re ready for a proper session. How do you know what tunes to put together in a set? Well, this is something that you can only learn from going to Irish Pub Sessions and listening to traditional musicians. Various sets and styles of mixing tunes have been handed down through the generations. However, we know that not all of you are lucky enough to live in Ireland and have access to Irish musicians to learn from, so we’ve created this brand new home here on OAIM called “Irish Pub Sessions”. This is where we’ll post any sessions we’ve recorded for your enjoyment and learning.
A glimpse behind the scenes in Gus O’Connor’s Pub, Doolin with MegaTrad
In our first session, we have a band called MegaTrad which features OAIM tutor Cillian Ó’Dálaigh, his brother Sean and their friend Denis McAuliffe. This session was recorded in the famous Gus O’Connor Pub in Doolin for our St Patrick’s Day 2022 Livestream on Youtube, which was hugely popular and is now only available to subscribers of OAIM.
We’ll be adding more Irish Pub Sessions as they become available, making this your home for live Irish music, wherever you are.

In this O’Connor’s Session MegaTrad play the tunes from our first ever 50 tune challenge (2020/21) and the best part is you get to learn what tunes from the 50 tunes are good to play together in a set.
