Singer Songwriter Dublin - begginers tips!?

anotherson

Just starting out on the acoustic solo scene, plenty of ideas, some songs written and well received (so far!) . . . any tips on how best to get out there, into the scene (ie. are there certain pubs, groups, networks worth being involved with) or is it as straightforward as pick up the guitar and get down to Temple Bar??!

Also, I'm sure anyone on this thread understands the sometimes beautiful, sometimes mammoth task of lyric writing...any tips/links/suggestions would be very welcome...:)

I've been puttin this adventure on hold for too long, can play the guitar, and love singin....so hopefully i'll be out and about sharin some tunes with you all soon, and maybe I'll be able to answer some of my wn questions if I haven't heard from you guys by then:rolleyes:

Open mic nights in Dublin. As good a place to start as any.

Avoid Damien Rice tunes. Don't be overly earnest. Have a sense of humour and limit your anecdotes between songs to 45 seconds.

Follow these rules and you will be less irritating than 90% of guitar toting singer songwriters currently performing.
