We have some friends who will be in Irland during April and they want to hear traditional Irish singing. They plan to travel all over the Republic (but not to Northern Ireland) so they might go anywhere to hear it.

We haven't been there since 2001 so we're probably a little out of date. Here's our list of possible venues. Can anyone add to this list or correct it? Remember, singing only - no instrumental sessions.
