    I'm a guitar player/ singer located in Dublin, looking for some other musicians to play some trad/ballad music with.
    Influences include: The Dubliners, The Pogues, Christy Moore etc

    Hi there, I play bodhran, drums and other percussive instruments. I do like playing ballads. Where in Dublin are you located?

    I'm located in Drumcondra, unfortunately I'm not driving so Meath might be a bit far, but I'd probably be able to travel most places in Dublin or could practice in my place at certain times.

    Hi, have you any other musicians at the moment or is it all a new set up?

    No others lined up at the moment, I used to play with my cousin (fiddle player) but she has moved to Kerry. All completely new.

    Hi There,

    My wife and I are looking for another musician to join us doing similar kinds of music.

    I play guitar, she sings. She is great at harmonising too, so if you're interested in colaborating on vocals maybe we could have something.

    Also, we live in Beaumont and can play in the house any time.

    If you fancy a chat give me a shout.

    Cheers,

    Tony
