Our Story
The Fonthill Session are a lively Irish and traditional music collective rooted in the pub session tradition, bringing the spirit of Celtic tunes to venues across the south-east.
Hand-picked for their musical chemistry and deep enthusiasm for trad culture, 'Fonthill are regulars at The Sussex Arms’ Irish & Trad Sessions in Royal Tunbridge Wells, where they serve up an authentic mix of jigs, reels, ballads and old-time tunes that draw from the rich heritage of Ireland and beyond.
With sets that appeal to fans of The Dubliners, The Pogues, and contemporary folk innovators alike, they weave spirited fiddle tunes, heartfelt ballads, and lively foot-stompers that invite dancing, singing and a good craic for all ages. Whether you’re settled in with a pint of Guinness or soaking up the atmosphere beside friends by the fire, 'Fonthill deliver the heart of Irish tradition right to the heart of the pub.
