These are just some place I found-- Galway--Monroe's (especially set dance night-Tuesday and Crane's (allows you to play along) Westport--Malloy's was crowded,but Conway's up the street had a good group. Donegal--several places may have trad music, but you have to ask. For friendliness and feeling of total pub participation, try the Scotchman's. Allows you to play along. Ennis--Cruises' was the best place to consistently get trad music played on something other than a keyboard. Groups with tapes or CD play. Lisdoonvarna-- a red pub in middle of town with "Live Music" sign, friendly, allows you to play along. I found that you have to check around; country/western and disco were popular. Music doesn't start before about 9:30 or 10:00, give you plenty of time to find a good seat and your first pint. The noise can be a distraction.

And if you make it to the Burren, Vaughan's Pub and Linnanes Pub in KIlfenora and The Roadside Tavern, Lisdoonvarna(Tommy Peoples plays there on Fri nights) are good spots. plenty of great music pubs in Ennis too Cruises' Pub for starters and it a choice after that. have a good holliday.

Frank - With a name like Maher you must be from Tipperary roots.

Nenagh Town is full of them so you will feel really at home during the Aonach Paddy o'Brien festival.

Nenagh Singers Circel are hosting singing events throughout the weekend. Liam's Brother will be there as well as many, many others.

Do visit.

The Aonach Paddy O'Brien festival starts just a couple of days after you arrive in Nenagh, Co. Tipp and the Fleadh is on in Wexford the week after that.

Two good places to start.

We would love to meet up with you.

I'll be in touch with more details soon.

Regards

Frank
