Hi, there! I´m so happy to see that some Mudcatters will be visiting us. Thanks Kat for your PM.

The world is so small.. My office is located just on the second floor of the same building of the Kilkenny, the best known Irish pub and restaurant in the Retiro area, Reconquista street. However I´m not a customer because they use to run their amplifiers at top volume. There are many other places where you can enjoy Guinnes in several varieties !

As you may know, I am a classical choir singer who likes to sing spirituals and blues, and knows nothing about celtic music, except enjoying it as a listener, but I´ll try to find good places for Bev and Jerry. Angeles seem to be more in contact with celtic bands.
However I can take you to some places where you could see a real tango orchestra and authentic dancers, as well as native folk music.

(Angeles ! you ruined my exclusivity, now I´m the second Argentinean in the Mudcat - because you are a lady and goes first :) Call me whenever you want 4639-9429 or send me a PM here.

You are coming to one of the most active musical cities in the world. Prepare your ears, and prepare your teeth for the finest beef too.

Please PM me or post here the dates of arrival and leaving, and some idea of how you plan your activities, or whether you plan nothing at all, as I use to do.

Un abrazo - Andrés
