    Edit:
    Thank you for all you're support and encouragement so far. But I think I may need some advice / help

    To make this as awesome as possible, I need a high quality camera to document it. I've put ads up with more details of what I have to offer in hopes of swapping for a camera. PM for more info. Can you help me out?
    /edit

    I had an idea to do a full trip around Ireland. 32 counties in 32 days. Play a gig in each place, and if no venue will have me, busk on the street, and video as much of it as I can.

    Here's the list of potential way-point towns I've picked. They were chosen to bring me on a loop, and to show me as much of the country as possible. If you have any suggestions let me know!

    Galway Westport Sligo Roscommon Carrick-On-Shannon Enniskillen Omagh Letterkenny Coleraine Belfast Downpatrick Caraigavon Monaghan Cavan Longford Athlone Tullamore Portlaoise Newbridge Navan Drogheda Dublin City Bray Carlow Wexford Kilkenny Clonmel Waterford Cork Tralee Adare Ennis

    Unless you incorporate a lambeg drum in your performance I wouldn't recommend Coleraine.

    Nope, avoided the town whenever I could while I lived there, much preferred Portrush and Portsteward.
