Trying to get gigs in Galway. (Rap)

    Hi, I'm a Rapper/Entertainer in Galway. I go by the stage name Crazed. I'm just wondering if anybody has any advice on getting gigs around Galway. I have a fan base that could fill a room so that's not a problem. I have had two gigs upstairs in the Roisin Dubh but I want to try a different venue. There's no chance of me getting a support slot for anybody as I'm very different to other artists. I tend to clash. I perform at the open mic in the Roisin Dubh every Sunday which is another reason I want to try a different venue. No dis-respect to the Roisin as its a lovely place.
    I think a majority of venues prefer bands, acoustic guitar players or Irish music. I'm just wondering if you know anywhere I could contact for a gig. I'm recording an album at the moment so it would be great promotion to get a good place where I can reach a different audience.
    Thanks.

    Maybe Kelly's upstairs? Could be the kind of thing you might have to promote yourself but it's a decent venue
