What we’re about
Do you like going to classical, folk or jazz concerts, and you’d like to go with other people who do too? Or you’re just not sure which concerts are going on?
Dublin Music Lovers is making it easy to enjoy music in Dublin regularly.
Please join our WhatsApp group to keep in touch and receive reminders about all our events.
As you may know, Meetup charges organisers for the use of this platform (I've paid €80 for a 6 month subscription). If you've enjoyed the events so far, please consider making a voluntary contribution to support those costs.
Our commitments to you:
💶 Affordability: most concerts will cost no more than €20, and at least 1 in 4 of our events will be free of charge
😊 Friendly interaction: we’ll have a meeting point at the venue where you can meet other attendees before the event, and there will be an optional visit to the pub afterwards.
🎻🎺 Variety: we don’t have a fixed genre of music, but generally, concerts will be classical, folk or jazz music.
What you’ll need to do:
🎟 Book your own ticket: each event will have clear instructions on how to get a ticket, and the costs. Marking yourself as Going on Meetup will not book an event ticket!
⏱ Arrive on time: many concerts won’t admit late arrivals, so you need to be there before the start. This also means we can meet and sit together in the venue.
🥳 Come prepared to have fun!
We welcome your ideas - many great concerts happen in Dublin without people knowing about them, so please share things that you hear about!

Pádraig Ó Néill’s library was a place of great knowledge and variety, a distinct point where Irish language met 18th century Europe. Now in the National Library, five books with traditional dance tunes and songs in Pádraig’s hand form the basis of this concert on historical instruments, alongside a taste of music from Dublin publishers on which these tunes were notated.Pádraig’s manuscripts are the earliest known notations of traditional music from an Irish Gaelic person. Prior to this we have prints from Dublin publishers, often with unclear sources. He lived from 1765-1832 in Owning, Co. Kilkenny, and was a miller and a farmer, but also piper and fiddle player who sang and wrote Irish poetry.
Join us for an exploration into the sounds of the beginning of the Irish music tradition as we know it today!
