Bleu note sounds like a really good spot- whats the crowd like that goes there, is it real relaxed? i lived well out of town so would want it to be worth the trip in!

Yes - its good and relexed. Saw Nigel Mooney there a few weeks ago on a Wednesday - great sound, fully recommend catching him if he's still playing there.

We have Honor Heffernan this saturday 19th april with Phil Ware on piano,damian evans on d.bass and kevin brady on drums. Next Saturday the 26th we have Emilie Conway singing a tribute to Billie Holliday. And we have what most other venues dont have - a regularly tuned decent piano, and an ambience and acoustics that actually feels and sounds like a jazz venue!

There's always a good session in The Corner House in the city, every Thursday I think, with members of the Lee Delta Blues Club.
Muddy Mahers in Kinsale is a good place to catch decent blues if you're dpwn there.

Incarnadine · 21-05-2009 8:40pm

So that place that was called the bleu note on capel street is on now called at the living room, is it still any good? whats the general vibe in the place, some jazz gigs tend to have too many people up their own ass, looking for somewhere nice an relaxed maybe friday or saturday night?

Would any of these places welcome broke and scruffy student types who are after a quick jazz hit?

The Clew Bay hotel in Westport have a free Jazz session every Tuesday night.

Went last week and can recommend it - its a piano and bass duo and their version of "So What" by Miles Davis has to be heard.
