Dude, fly me out, and I'll be your personal freakin' guru!

Serioulsy, Ireland's awesome. I spent two weeks in the republic a few years ago and have vowed to go back. Friendliest people, maybe next to ausies, and gorgeous women! Way to set a precedent with that smoking thing, too.

Yup, theres a good few. Not all of them are good. If you're in Dublin get in touch with the Abbey School of Music on Abbey St., D1

Thats where I go, the bass teacher there is awesome.

Just checked your profile, I see your in Wicklow, one of the top session bassists in the country lives in Bray (he's awesome, he was recently the house bassist on charity yourastar..he's played with more people than I can think and an absolutely sound bloke as well)

pm me and I'll put you in touch
