    Hello,
    Firstly I live in Dublin City.
    I am a singer/songwriter who sings and writes original Irish songs and also sings traditional ballads. I have sung all my life and play the guitar well enough to accompany myself although I am not a person who can play complicated jigs etc.
    I am looking for people who play traditional Irish instruments like the Bodhran, fiddle, whistle, mandolin uileann pipes etc.
    I know allot of traditional ballads and want to continue to learn many more- my style would be similar to Pecker Dunne and influence from the Dubliners, Fureys Margaret Barry and so on.
    I also write songs that would be in the style of traditional ballads and would like to record them some day but for now I am just looking to get some gigs and perhaps a little busking to get used to playing together.
    I am looking for players that are interested in playing mostly ballads and some songs as Gaeilge also- I have some Irish and am learning at the moment but Irish is not in any ways a requirement- just decent players who love Irish songs and have an interest in some of the less heard Irish ballads.

    Hope to hear from you soon
