01 May 02 - 12:26 AM (#701764) Subject: Mudcat in Ireland From: Marc I realise it's late, however, I'm leaving for Ireland in about 12 hours. I'll be staying in Co. Tipperary for about 10 days, and am looking for recommendations for sessions. I mostly sing songs, although I also enjoy playing tunes, and will most likely have an instrument. I will entertain almost any distance for good craic. |
01 May 02 - 01:07 AM (#701787) Subject: RE: Help: Mudcat in Ireland From: katlaughing Someone ought to wake up soon and post something for you, Marc. In the meantime, we've had several threads on this subject, so if you do a search using Ireland in the title and set the age filter back a few months there should be some good ideas come up. Good luck and have fun! kat |
01 May 02 - 01:13 AM (#701789) Subject: RE: Help: Mudcat in Ireland From: GUEST Since YOU KNOW how to do it. DO it for him Ms. KitKat. Become a servant of the MC and not just a user. |
01 May 02 - 08:21 AM (#701936) Subject: RE: Help: Mudcat in Ireland From: Marc Thanks Kat. You know, as many times as I've tried over the years, I've never gotten results from searching the forum. I must be my own incompetence, but I can't make it work. Buy the way wasn't there also a thread a few months ago about Joe reducing Guest access. This Guest harassment is getting tireing. I mean they don't have the balls to Identify themselves, and 80% of their posts are abusive. Marc Bernier |
01 May 02 - 08:30 AM (#701943) Subject: RE: Help: Mudcat in Ireland From: greg stephens Ask around at the Lobby,Union Quay, Cork. It's not far. You'find out what's going on there: when it's it's not happening in the Lobby, they'll know where it is. |
01 May 02 - 08:42 AM (#701952) Subject: RE: Help: Mudcat in Ireland From: GUEST You can also try picking up "In Dublin" guide, which lists some stuff outside Dublin, especially concerts. But at this late date, I'd go with whatever the Bord Failte and local tourist boards have in the areas you are in. It is too late to ask 12 hours before departure! |
01 May 02 - 08:46 AM (#701956) Subject: RE: Help: Mudcat in Ireland From: Marc Thank alot folks. My appologies to the Helpfull guest. My venom was not meant for you. |
01 May 02 - 09:04 AM (#701970) Subject: RE: Help: Mudcat in Ireland From: My guru always said Try Castleconnell by Lough Derg, there's a couple of bars there that run very good 'local' sessions. Also an excellent one in 'Pipers' of Feakle, Co Clare on the other side of the Lough. Well worth a visit if you've got transport. Enjoy the Guinness! |
01 May 02 - 09:07 AM (#701973) Subject: RE: Help: Mudcat in Ireland From: GUEST Apologies accepted Marc, but it doesn't excuse the venom. |
01 May 02 - 10:06 AM (#702000) Subject: RE: Help: Mudcat in Ireland From: Banjo-Flower try the " Square Pint" in Kenmare and the "Roughy valley Bar" in Kilgarvan on Tuesday after 9 p m Gerry |
01 May 02 - 10:13 AM (#702004) Subject: RE: Help: Mudcat in Ireland From: GUEST,Bill Kennedy pick up a copy of Irish Music Magazine and check the list of sessions in the back, it's not complete by any means, but it's fairly up to date. |
02 May 02 - 03:59 AM (#702675) Subject: RE: Help: Mudcat in Ireland From: Paddy Plastique Shite - what happened there ? My post truncated - a crackdown on the verbose or what ? I'll try again: Singing Clubs On that thread you'll find mention of and a website link for the Nenagh Singer's Circle. You should find people who know about other sessions at that club. As you aren't far away from Clare you should take a trip in that direction - Doolin for example. Not too sure about the timing of the sessions. On a side issue, are you French with that name ? A bit early to be looking for political asylum, non ? I'm waiting until after next Sunday, at least... |
02 May 02 - 04:04 AM (#702678) Subject: RE: Help: Mudcat in Ireland From: Mr Happy and there's always O'Donoghues pub in Dublin on a Saturday night mr happy |
02 May 02 - 04:31 AM (#702695) Subject: RE: Help: Mudcat in Ireland From: MudGuard Happiness, as I will be in Dublin on the 25th of May, could you give the address of that pub? TIA MudGuard |
02 May 02 - 04:56 AM (#702704) Subject: RE: Help: Mudcat in Ireland From: Mr Happy sorry I forget but ask any taxi driver good luck mr happy |
02 May 02 - 05:32 AM (#702722) Subject: RE: Help: Mudcat in Ireland From: MudGuard Ok, so I will try finding a taxi driver... |
02 May 02 - 09:01 AM (#702818) Subject: RE: Help: Mudcat in Ireland From: GUEST Try this website for a list of Dublin pubs with addresses: http://www.houseofireland.com/dubguide/entert/dubpub.htm |
02 May 02 - 09:03 AM (#702822) Subject: RE: Help: Mudcat in Ireland From: GUEST Sorry, I also meant to give you this website, which is currently featuring O'Ds as the pub of the month: http://www.irishmusicbars.com/ |
02 May 02 - 09:07 AM (#702826) Subject: RE: Help: Mudcat in Ireland From: GUEST Although, I have to add I don't consider O'Donoghues to be much more than a tourist pub. Though it isn't listed on either of the above sites, I'd go to Hughes, behind the Four Courts. Or the Harcourt Hotel. Or any number of other pubs where the best musicians play. |
02 May 02 - 09:12 AM (#702830) Subject: RE: Help: Mudcat in Ireland From: MudGuard Thanks, Guest, for the links. |
02 May 02 - 09:17 AM (#702834) Subject: RE: Help: Mudcat in Ireland From: GUEST My pleasure. The suggestion of Irish Music mag is good too. |
02 May 02 - 09:29 AM (#702840) Subject: RE: Help: Mudcat in Ireland From: GUEST,Martin Ryan In Dubin, Hughes' (Chancery Street) is always the place to start - and finish, as often as not! Regards |
