It was a non paying gig,We used to play this pub every Monday but left 6 months ago.
Another band took over the Monday night session , they are mostly trad musicians it has not been going too well for them so they kept asking us back.
I never liked the place but to help the other lads out myself and the
other three in our band went back to give the lads a dig out,
we do mostly folk/ballad/old time pop/.
The punters want us there and join in with the songs but as in every Dublin pub the t.v gets priority.
I think it's a Dublin thing ,it's like there are two Irelands,
one is Dublin and then you have the rest where you will be warmly
welcomed and the songs will be respected.
