I have never before holidayed in Ireland, but will be spending a few days in Dingle in August.

Apart from admiring the scenery and having a rest, I plan to take a guitar with me, as is my habit on holiday.

Now the reason for this thread.

What are the conventions for holidaying Brits toting guitars?
Can I just wander in to any music pub with my instrument and hope to be invited to participate?

Guidance, and any recommendations as to where the best craic on the peninsula may be found, would be appreciated.
