What instruments do you have already? What kind of stuff are you looking to play?

At the moment ther's a fiddle, tenor banjo, badhran, low whistle, tin whistle, guitar. We are all more or less learning together so the standard is not the cheiftans yet, but we're also past the beginners stage too. .....just wondering if theres any like-minded , like situationed people out there looking for an outlet really...........

Where exactly in North Dublin are you hoping to play? Have you got a pub lined up? We're pretty much in the same situation but we have about 10 regulars now every Wed night. Still some of us might be into another night somewhere else, or maybe some of you could come and join in. We're hoping to add a Sunday night locally too.

Hi All

Thanks for the response's!!!. I better fill in a bit more so. We are based around the drumcondra , Glasnevin , east wall area of North Dublin. At the moment we're all just meetin up in a shed in Drumcondra and steadily expanding the repetoire between ourselves, havin great craic as you can imagine. Where abouts are you based Blade, and whats the line up?. Also
Peter pantslez, where are you based?

Im sure there's a few pubs we could sort out sessions in around here.

Ok you're a bit far for me, we play in Howth. Some of us are intermediate level but the sessions aren't slow as we have a good few experienced musicians. I still struggle keeping up with some of the Jigs and Reels but I'm getting there.

peter-pantslez

You'd want to get lessons before trying to join in on a session with that bodhran, theres a sticky for lessons and teachers, have a look through that.
