The Irish Sea Sessions is an annual event that brings together some of the finest traditional musicians, singers and songwriters, to explore and celebrate tunes and both traditional and contemporary songs inspired by Liverpool, Ireland, Northern Ireland, the Irish Sea and the shared heritage and connections between them all. The event was devised by Simon Glinn and is produced by Liverpool Philharmonic. The Music Director is Bernard O’Neill.
The Irish Sea Sessions first convened in Liverpool in October 2010, with a performance at Liverpool Philharmonic on Friday 22nd, presented as part of Liverpool Irish Festival. The show, and the response of both audience and critics, was tumultuous, with Liverpool Confidential magazine rating the show “15/10 (honest)”
