Gogarty’s music
Recorded in 1997, this would appear to be a predecessor to this recording, posted here 10 years ago :

Another CD made by resident musicians playing in Dublin venues, largely for the tourist market, I suppose, and there’s nothing at all wrong with that, as long as the players get some sort of fee for their playing.
This one does actually say who’s playing on each track, and I’ll post “who plays what” later on.
The bar is “The Oliver St. John Gogarty”, in Temple Bar, which apparently opened in 1992.
