    There are only 26 counties in Ireland so you're wasting nearly a week there.

    Solo gig or band?
    Mostly covers? (i see you do your own stuff)
    Fee or paid in pints?

    I may be able to help with gigs in Derry, Donegal and Tyrone.

    PM me if you don't want to post in thread.

    Craigavon isn't actually much of a town either, more of a council area. Lurgan or Portadown are the two towns there.

    Depending on when you do this, you can couch it at my place, I'll even film it for you. Would be interested in filming the whole thing!

    Avoid Donegal altogether and Go to Derry City instead :P Donegal Town shur. Just avoid LK like the plague

    Donegal Town is just a wannabee Westport, LK is fine.

    Derry City would be unmissable given the city of culture thing.

    Mostly originals. I'm half doing it to promote myself, half doing it to see the country. I'm not arsed playing a bunch of songs I don't enjoy playing to please people who probably wont listen anyway.
    Ideally fee, but pints will do me if ye don't mind me selling EPs! Once I can cove the cost of petrol to get to the next town and a meal I'd be delighted.
    I'll send you a PM to get more details.

    Like a lot of people I looked at the list and thought - jees there's a much nicer town in that county to go to. But I think thats the beauty of the list - take the road less travelled - go to the town where all the locals say to you "What de f**k are you doing here we all go to place 10 miles up the road".

    That's a proper road trip - enjoy.

    Haha, I really had to guess most places, and I tried to separate the destinations out as much as possible. I'm totally happy with walking into a tiny pub where everyone turns around and goes "who the **** is this young buck?". I'm also hoping on coming out of it with a few cool stories.

    Haha, I just wanted to avoid big cities if I could. There's usually a warmer welcome in a smaller town.

    Consider doing Boyle (Co. Roscommon) between Sligo and Carrick-on-Shannon dates, or do Roscommon between the Longford and Athlone dates. It'll save you a few bob on petrol.

    definitely do Naas in Co. Kildare, you can do Blessington in Co. Wicklow just down the road.

    also go for New Ross in Co. Wexford, less of a diversion off the Carlow, Kilkenny, Waterford route.

    Yes, definitly avoid Newbridge, Naas or Maynooth perhaps. I think they have some sort of festival for the Gathering coming up in the next few weeks that might be worth busking at?

    Thank you for all you're support and encouragement so far. But I think I may need some advice / help

    To make this as awesome as possible, I need a high quality camera to document it. I've put ads up here and here and here, in hopes of swapping for a camera. Can you help me out?

    I reckon you take Joe's offer to film the whole thing, this is how great documentaries are born.
