Ballad scene

dwaincasey · 2012-02-18 22:22:34

Is there a ballad scene at all anywhere in Dublin? Is it dead altogether? I'm mad into the ballads. Have been in a couple of amateur folk bands over the years and have done some one man gigs etc. But I really wish there was somewhere to turn up where a group of people sing all the old ballads and everyone joins in. Anyone…

Anyone know of anywhere in Dublin for this?
