IN THE SNUG
Every Sunday afternoon, the hearth in The Snug is taken over by local masters of traditional Irish music. No amplifiers, no backing tracks, no gimmicks — just authentic jigs, reels, and ballads passed down through generations.
Pull up a stool beside the hearth, order a creamy pint of stout, and immerse yourself in the finest unamplified session craic in the Midlands. Fiddlers, tin whistlers, and bodhrán players of all skill levels are welcomed into the circle.
