Come and join our dream pop jam session. This meetup is all about plugging in, turning up the reverb, and making some dreamy noise together. We’ll be meeting in a studio on North Circular Road in Dublin for a relaxed group jam, bringing together musicians, producers, and singers to play and experiment with well-known **synthwave** and **dream pop** tunes as a jumping-off point (will send exact location to everyone that signs up, and also some tunes to be thinking about). The goal isn’t perfection or performance — it’s about listening, learning each other’s styles, and slowly shaping our own shared sound along the way. Whether you play keys, guitar, bass, drums, sing, or produce, come along ready to vibe, try things out, and see what happens when hazy melodies and neon synths collide in the same room 😎 (Cost for the studio is 20 per hour, so 60 in total, divided by the number of us that attend).

Dear fellow Gaeilgeoiri, Cead mile failte / a warm welcome to this group of Irish language lovers and enthusiasts. Hope you will enjoy everything it has to offer and feel free to suggest new events, and, why not step in as an event organizer? What this group is not: - A group limited to those with perfect proficiency in the language, where any single word of English is banned, and where you will get corrected for every séimhiú that, God forbid, you might be forgetting What this group is: - A forum of Gaeilge enthusiasts willing to share their interest and love of the language. We all started learning a language, including our own, from scratch at some point in our lives. Absolute beginners are welcome and should not feel intimidated. Near perfect and native Irish speakers are also welcome to share their vast knowledge of the language. Hopefully this will create a thriving community of lovers of the language at any level. Beir bua Alex (organizer)
