03 Aug 05 - 05:35 PM (#1534231) Subject: RE: Goleen Singers Club - Dublin From: MartinRyan Mayes' pub,at the junction of Nth. Frederick St. and Dorset St. North end of O'Connell St., the main drag, if you're not familiar with Dublin. That sid, it's not on during July and AUgust - starts back first weekend September. Website (not always up to date) is at www.goilin.com (I think!!) Regards |

04 Aug 05 - 09:41 AM (#1534830) Subject: RE: Goleen Singers Club - Dublin From: Kevin Sheils Just to add that when they do meet it starts about 9.45pm I think they advertise as "9.30 Irish Time!". Managed to be in Dublin this year before their July August break and got to the club for the first time, having met some of the regulars at Sidmouth, the National and Musical Traditions club in the past. An excellent evening and well worth a visit if your over there on a Friday. In fact fares are so cheap it's worth a visit just to go to the club. If you're googling for information remember it's spelt goilin. I love the following quoted from their web site: As our Motto says: "there is no standard set", not in the singing anyway. We set a very high standard in listening. The rule of the club is: if someone is singing, reciting or performing in any way, total attention is given to the performance. Experience over the years has taught us that it does't work any other way. |

11 Jan 10 - 08:38 PM (#2809602) Subject: RE: Goleen Singers Club - Dublin From: Fergie Martin, who the hell is Jim Carroll? Is he that beardy fell that hangs around with the neshers from West Clare? Never trusted that fella, he'll be getting the cold shoulder if he ever shows up at the Góilín, shure he's a bit dischlek, dyclestic, dieclasty, he not a great speller hissell. Fergus |

11 Jan 10 - 09:55 PM (#2809635) Subject: RE: Goleen Singers Club - Dublin From: Surreysinger Sorry Martin - I hadn't noticed that you had provided a web address in your earlier posting ... however, I hope the blue clicky link should prove helpful!! :-) |

12 Jan 10 - 02:58 AM (#2809747) Subject: RE: Goleen Singers Club - Dublin From: MartinRyan Surreysinger You're quite right, of course - Goilín is the correct spelling and is used in the web address. Goleen is frequently used in practice. Regards p.s. a hunt through the photos on www.goilin.com shows a few Mudcatters... |
