Irish Music Circle

In true pub fashion, White Horse Black Mountain hosts a traditional Irish style free session twice a month, on the second and fourth Wednesdays, starting at 7pm and hosted by Richard and Melinda Halford. Irish Sessions are in many ways the heart and soul of Irish traditional music, a place for players to share tunes and socialize. It’s not a performance, but rather an informal situation in which listeners are welcome to participate, whether offering encouragement, singing along on a chorus, or asking questions about the music and instruments. White Horse sessions regularly draws players from as far away as Waynesville, Cullowhee, Rutherfordton and even Clayton, Georgia.
