The pub is the usual place where sessions of music, song and dance can be experienced by the visitor. These pub sessions would be at their height during the summer months.  Most pubs provide live music during the season on most evenings. During the off season, Dingle offers music on most evenings, notably at the Court House Bar, Mac Cárthaigh's, James Curran's (on a Thursday night) and at John Benny Moriarty's, where singing and set dancing are particularly encouraged. Tigh Bhric in Riasc near Ballyferriter has a now well-established open session of music and song every Friday night throughout the year when all comers are welcome to join in.  Most gigs will welcome visiting musicians who wish to join them. During the tourist season there are paid concerts in St. James Church, Main St, Dingle.  Usually the best known  musicians of the area play at these concerts i.e Pauline Scanlon and Eoin Duignan
