Right, between physio clinics and five-a-sides I still make time for the good stuff. This is the gig list and trad haunts I actually send people when they ask where's deadly for music in Dublin — none of yer tourist trap nonsense, just the real session spots and venues that'd make you late for training and you wouldn't even care. Grab a pint, leave the car.

Tunes Worth the Trek — 4 items
Name	Venue	Address	City	Vibe	My take
1The Cobblestone	The Cobblestone	77 King Street North, Smithfield	Dublin	No-frills trad bar, session every single night	Pure class, no notes. Squeeze in the front bar and don't talk over the fiddle or you'll get the look
2Whelan's	Whelan's	25 Wexford Street	Dublin	Legendary gig venue, bands every night of the week	Seen more deadly gigs here than I can count, voice note material every time
3The Button Factory	The Button Factory	Curved Street, Temple Bar	Dublin	Club nights and gigs, proper sound system	Great for a late one after the match, floor's always jumping
4The Workman's Club	The Workman's Club	10 Wellington Quay	Dublin	Multi-room gig spot, rooftop and all sorts upstairs	Brought half the five-a-side crew here, nobody left early
