Music Tips for Ireland
If you ever get to Dublin, Ireland I strongly urge you to do 2 things:
1. Go to Cafe En Seine which was one of the most beautiful, cool bars I've ever been to. I went there twice and both times featured fantastic music, both DJ and live via spanish guitar quartet. Then go around the corner and down Grafton street to Bruxelles Pub which features 2 rock clubs inside, one for classic rock and the other for metal. The crowds in both were off the charts and completely consumed by rock-n-roll. In the rock bar the packed room sang along to classics by The Who, Hendrix and countless others like the songs were just released yesterday on at the top of the pop charts. It was incredible to witness, and fun to join the party.
2. Rent a car and drive to Galway, or anywhere for that matter. The point is to get on the road and explore the beautiful countryside. And when doing so bring along U2's The Unforgetable Fire and Van Morrison's Astral Weeks. These albums were played non-stop over the 4 hour drive and provided absolutely perfect backdrops to traveling throughout the rich Irish landscape.
