Need more than just a bard? Check out the band <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sessioneers.nl\">Sessioneers<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Irish and Scottish Folk Music<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ranging from street ballads to sea shanties &#8211; and let&#8217;s not forget drinking songs! &#8211; an evening (or afternoon) with McHollander can be live musical &#8220;background&#8221; for those otherwise awkward moments in between conversation or full-on entertainment. It depends on the setting and the audience. With well over 200 songs to choose from &#8211; and not even all of them strictly folk music &#8211; and no fixed set list, each concert is different. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Not just in the pub<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">McHollander has done everything from getting people to dance in a certain famous Swedish furniture shop to ceremonies on traditional sailing ships to live music at funerals, so if your idea is not considered a traditional venue for live music: no problem. Let&#8217;s discuss the options!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"McHollander -
