I've booked the ferry so all I need to do now is sort some accommodation.

I'm fairly flexible – I have a tent and enjoy camping but hotels, hostels or some sort of house sharing all sound fine to me. Basically, I'll take anything above a park bench or a police cell. I'll sleep anywhere but I must have some security for my musical instruments.

I have transport but I would prefer to be able to sample all the delights of old Ireland, rather than having to nurse half a pint of Guinness all evening. If it turns out that the only accommodation is at a distance from the sessions, I could forego the alcohol if there is good music and craic at each end. The most important thing is not to be too far from the action. I don't want to be stuck somewhere on my own, wondering if everyone else is having a good time.

Where is everyone else staying?
