Anthony & Tracey look forward to providing a warm welcome to musicians and music lovers alike for the first known Irish Music Session at the historic C17th George Inn, Portland . Since taking over in 2009 they have established the George as a hub of the community by providing good pub food and drink in a relaxing and friendly atmosphere whilst building partnerships with the local community. They also pride themselves on their variety of real ales many of which are dispensed direct from cask on the back bar. (https://www.thegeorgeinn.org/)

The Irish session…..
…a gathering of Irish traditional musicians for the purpose of celebrating their common interest in the music by playing it together in a relaxed, informal setting, while in the process generally beefing up the mystical cultural mantra that hums along uninterruptedly beneath all manifestations of Irishness worldwide.
