Hi all,
I can confirm the Cobblestone in Smithfield as brilliant venue. It has been closed for a while but it's now back.(If you have difficulties to find it: ask for Jameson's distillery)
Try out as well Mother Redcaps near Christ Church.
Enjoy it, Chris

Don't miss The Cobblestones pub at Smithfield market, just off the quays. Music 7 nights a week. Brilliant.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I'll make sure she gets these in her email in-basket. Now, if she finds her way to a cybercafe ...

Yes, Bev & Jerry, it is THAT Lynn, and hello to the both of you as well. One of these days we'll meet in the flesh and share a pint or two and some songs old and new.

Cheers,
WW

I'll be in Dublin in the morning, but only passing through on my way to County Galway and the Connemara

Issac Butts, next to the bus station used to have music on a Monday night, might be an idea to call in and ask

O'Shea's Merchant beside the Liffy is good for the set dancing, song and the music. Tell the band you are a singer/musician to get a set.

I don't know if it still happens but 13 years ago, Manitas and I went to Dublin (en route to Lisdoonvarna for honeymoon - don't ask!), and spent most of Sunday in the Brazen Head, Dublins' oldest pub (allegedly). We went in for a quick pint before lunch, just after 12.30pm, and didn't come out until 7.00pm. Whilst we were there, the singing and playing didn't stop for longer than it takes to top up the Guinness. They only stopped at 7.00 so that they could move next door to the folk club!

The pub itself closed and opened twice without anyone noticing - except at 5.50pm when the landlord started pouring Guinness', til he had them lined 10 across and 4 deep along the bar. At 6.01 the doors crashed open, a whole group of men came in, slapped their money on the bar and the Guinness went down the throat. By 6.08 the whole lot was gone.

On Friday, October 24th don't miss An Goilin Folk Club in Dublin.

On Tuesday, October 28 try Fingal Singers Club, O'Connors Pub, Ballyboughal, County Dublin. Despite it's name, this was a mixed session but both singing and playing were excellent. It's a little north of the airport.

And if this is Lynn S. like we think it is, please say hello to her for us.

Hello Strangers,
My good friend Lynn from Kansas City is on her way to Dublin, even as we speak, to walk the marathon. While she's in Ireland, she'd love to find some people to sing with and to hear. Her schedule is:

Dublin - Oct 24-29, 2003

Cork - Oct 30, 2003

If any of you know of sings or open mics during these dates, please let me know, either by replying in this thread, or by emailing me at [e-mail].

Lynn and I are part of a four-woman group called Carry On! that has begun singing together here in the Heartland, doing gigs like Earth Day and the Rolling Thunder Down-Home Democracy Tour. She's a songwriter and guitar player, in addition to being a singer and excellent pal. She likes her beer stout and her songs long, so she ought to be right at home in Ireland.

And hello, by the way, to my old pals there in Mudcat-Land. I'm sorry I've been such a stranger myself, but a combination of lousy internet access at home, way-busy-ness at work and doing a lot of singing have made me a stranger to almost everything that requires me to be online.

Cheerios,
WyoWoman
