Gach tráthnóna Dé Céadaoin bíonn seisiún ceoil ann i mo theach. Tagann cúpla cairde agus bíonn muid ag seinn poirt as Éirinn, ón Albain, ón Bhreatain Bheag agus ó dtíortha eile. Bímse ag seinn an fheadóg stáin, an fhliúit Shasanach, an giotár, an maindilín nó an bodhrán, agus bíonn mo chairde ag seinn an fhidil nó an fheadóg mhór. An tseachtain seo caite bhí fear nua ann atá ag seinn níos mó uirlisí ceoil na mise: an consairtín, an bainseó, an giotár, an fhidil, an vióla, an olldord agus an trombón san áireamh. Ní raibh leis ach a consairtín agus an bainseó, agus sheinn sé mo ghiotár chomh maith. Ní raibh sé ann an tseachtain seo, ach beidh sé ann an tseachtain seo chugainn.

Every Wednesday afternoon there’s a music session in my house. A few friends come and we play folk tunes from Ireland, Scotland, Wales and other countries. I play the whistle, recorder, guitar, mandolin and bodhrán, and my friends play the fiddle or flute. Last week there was a new guy who plays even more instruments than me, including the concertina, banjo, guitar, fiddle, viola, double bass and trombone. He only had his concertina and banjo with him, and he also played my guitar. He wasn’t here today, but will be next week.
