Trad Bands sought for Loughrea Bar

Hey Guys,
We run a busy town central Bar in Loughrea, Co. Galway and are looking to set up regular group of bands to play Saturday and Sunday night Gigs. Our stage is quite small so the biggest band we would accommodate is probably a 4 piece.

If interested let me know and send me your details and we will contact you. If you have any youtube videos or demos it would also be great.

Chat to you soon

Hi,

I play in a two piece called "Folk That", formerly "The Bruisers" that play pretty much what you are looking for.

We normally play around Cavan, but are quite open to broaden our horizons.

Send me some details if you'd like a chat
