Would anyone know a decent regular jazz gig around dublin city? I've heard of a place that does them but cant remember where it was - possibly Cafe en Seine? Anway, thanks for any help.

Sarsfield

Ron Blacks on Dawson St on Sunday afternoons.

Check JJs on Aungier St too. Jazz there a couple of nights per week.

Thought I saw a sign up outside the cafe a door or two down from McCullough Pigott on Suffolk Street, saying they had live jazz on Saturday nights, never been tho.

The Boom Boom Room above Conways on Parnell Street. Has excellent live jazz most nights of the week, with the odd splattering of blues or funk. Listings on www.getagig.ie

The Dirty Jazz club goes on in the international bar on wicklow street every tuesday at 9...admission €5 or something like that....meant to be pretty good.. the drummer gives me lessons.

I used to go to Mother Reilly's in Rathmines to see a jazz band play. Still is the best gig I've ever seen!
Last I heard is they play every second Tuesday night there, but I'd definatly recommend checking it out, you won't be disappointed!

Its lead by Tenor Sax dude John Earle, who you'll have heard playin in Thin Lizzy's Dancing in the Moonlight.
These are top class jazz musicians who take some standards & some lesser known jazz tunes and do their own versions of them.

Thanks a million, I'll have to check them all out and give them my seal of approval.
