Irish Music in Norway Not much to write about really. Surely there are quite a few "Irish Pubs" around , but knowledge of Ireland and Irish music is sadly missing. There are a few exceptions thoug. "The Dubliner" in Oslo will give you good music and there are some very good musicians around for the weekly session. "Roots Music Agency Noway" is based in Oslo and representing some very good bands playing Irish music, like Tara, Clonakilty, Common Ground and more. Another important exception is the "Session Weekend" at Johnsgård in Sømådalen. Read more about last years event here: The Traditional Irish Music Session in Sømådalen 13. - 14. June 2003 It has happened again. "Session Weekend in Sømådalen" August 20th - 21th 2004 is just finished. There was traditional Irish and Norwegian music, sessions, set-dancing, workshops, a bit of rain and loads of fun. See some photos here. Look out for details on Johnsgård turistsenter and Sessions From The Hearth.
Unfinished - to be continued......
