Hello,

Where are good venues to try to get gigs for a two/three peice accustic group? We do fairly low key country (Townes Van Zandt, Guy Clark), Folk (Richard Thompson, Pentangle) and americana (Neil Young, Bonnie Prince Billie). I've just moved up from Cork (well a few months ago but still just settling in really). The kind of gigs we would do in Cork were generally music type pub gigs (as in pubs where the atmosphere would be more into music say than lots of tvs showing football etc) listening type venue gigs, folks clubs etc. Where would be good places to call in and have a chat about playing?

Cheers.

I'd say Western Hotel, An Pucan, Roisin Dubh, Sally longs maybe, Salt house. Others will know more.

There are a few threads on this with mentions of places.

I've heard there's a Country/Bluegrass gig starting up somewhere soon, but I believe it's a session more than a gig. I assume you are looking for paid gigs?
I'll post any info when I find out details.

Cheers for the replies, will call into and contact those places. Will post up if we get any gigs and sound cloud links if anyone is interested in coming. Would be looking for paid gigs really as the other lads will be coming up from cork.
