Most of the stuff you'll find in central Dublin is 'Oirish' and/or pseudo riverdance - by it's nature the non-commercial, non-performance stuff takes a bit of finding and what's to one person's taste may not be yours.. good luck |

From: Desi C I was very disappointed when in Dublin last year and early this year, by the lack of trad music in central Dublin. Ot was mostly Disco ld stag and hen parties. I could see why folk are calling it the new Blackpool i.e loads of English out at 7p.m, paralytic by 9p.m and fighting shortly afterwards. I couldn't find one session in two nights thee. So I went down to Kilkenny and can see why they're calling it the New Dublin. Some great live music, best session I've ever been to in Cleers bar, good old go out late, sing into the early hours all ages, and real local musicians, love the place. Dublin needs to wake up and stop going for quick profits above quality. Drinks at least a full Euro cheaper in KK too Desi C The Circle Folk Club Coseley WV14 8PA U.K |
