    Hey everyone! I am a solo artist in Kildare and I have a lot of my own material which I would love to share with people at a gig. I have played plenty of gigs at pubs and competitions and what not, but I am wondering are there any special dates or venues made for musicians where they can go and play their own music? I would love to go not just to play but to listen to other peoples material too. At pub gigs and parties its very hard to sit back and listen/play peoples own music, it usually tends to be drunk people requesting the charts stuff! theres nothing wrong with this, I love pub gigs! but if anyone knows of any venues or anything of this kind, please do let me know! :)

    and forgive me if im wrong but i believe you can get a high quality recording of your performance when you play at it.

    Hope this helps

    Ye you have to pay, but its only a few euro if anything, you get it on a CD so you can just copy it as much as you'd like then.

    I'm pretty sure its the venue that do the recording anyway, because my friend has a copy of his set there and i recall him saying they did it for him. Comes in handy as a live EP or whatever you wished
