I'm puzzled, Kendall. What do you expect to find in Donnybrook? It's only a rather middle- to upper-class suburb on Dublin's southside, clogged with traffic most of the day and home to overpriced restaurants, bars and shops. Unless you're planning on doing a broadcast for RTÉ, which is based there, I'd give it a miss.

Drogheda and Wexford are within easy reach of Dublin - plenty of music in both towns - or you could be in Galway, Sligo, Westport, Carrick-on-Shannon, Enniskillen or Donegal town within three to four hours.
