IRISH VENUE LIST
  
     
 
a3 a2a1
  
   
     
 

I have collected the following information over the past few years from various sources, including those listed in the 'Contributors' section below. I send it out to anyone who approaches me looking for a gig at the Black Nun, in the hope that it will assist them in their efforts to put a tour together. If you know of anyone who might be able to make good use of this information, please pass it on.

Please take five minutes to check the venues listed in your area, & if you can correct any details for me, or add any other useful venue information, please send it right back to me. This info. is of great value to any musicians trying to organise a tour over here, especially for the first time, so lets give them a helping hand, & we'll all benefit from fresh talent in our midst.

Good Luck, & keep the info. coming.

Dick
