Iain Dove McAfee and Cara Weggler Menge are members of the Irish trad band Dòrain. We explore 3 of the main Irish scenes (sessions, dances, and stage performances) and unique etiquette and cultural features of each.

They also share how "trying to come up with a band name is like friendship torture!" and how they settled on the name Dòrain... which means "otters" in Gaelic.
