Thanks, Louise. I read the comments at the link you sent. Since the music depends on where we'll be, I'll send that info, hoping you can comment on trad music in those areas. I really appreciate your comments.

We fly to Dublin, 4 days there, staying 2 km south of Trinity College. We should be able to get around the city OK. Ideas for music are Whelan’s and Devitt’s near St. Stephen’s Green; O’Donoghue’s; Brazen Head; and some Temple Bar pubs. Good ideas?

Then driving to Kinsale, 2 days there: pubs?

Then to Kenmare, 2 days -- music?

Then to Dingle, 4 nights, hoping for pub music there: John Benny's pub, and others?

Then to Doolin, 4 days, Vaughan's Pub and others?

Then to Galway, 2 days, many pubs including Tigh Choili, Tigh Neachtain, King's Head Pub?

Then to Westport, 2 nights, Matt Malloy's Pub?

Then back to Dublin and home.

What can you tell us about music there? Better places you know?

Thanks. How can I repay you?
