    Hey all,
    Where can I see any blues gigs in dublin if at all?
    I've been in copenhagen for a bit and I've become
    addicted to smokey, dirty blues rock clubs!
    Anyone know where I can indulge my new passion
    back home?

    Mange tak

    JJ's has some good blues nights.. also the suggercube has an excellent few nights going.
    You wont really get anything as good as your used to as it hasn't really taken off yet... but I'm hoping to change that..
    I'm a jazz and blues singer and if you keep your eye on www.gigsmartireland.com for when Valerie is playing next then you can come along and see some good funk,soul,jazz and blues (well at least I hope it's good)

    Cheers

    Thanks a million for that Saint. I'm still in Denmark for now but I'll check out some of the artists and places you've mentioned when / if(:)) I get back.

    If you're ever in Copenhagen heres a few cool places to go. You really should do a weekend trip over. The place keeps going 24/7 and it's comon to still have live music at 3 or 4 am:

    I'd have to agree. In my limited experience JJ's is the place to go.
