Music spots worth the bus fare

Between choir on a Tuesday and whatever the girls have dragged me to on a Saturday, I've clocked up a fair few hours in Dublin's music venues over the years. This is the list I keep in my good handbag — the places that are worth putting the good coat on for, from the grand plush seats of the Concert Hall to a wee session pub where you'd want to get there early for a stool. Herself from the altos still owes me a biscuit from the last away-trip, by the way, and she knows who she is. Anyway, that's my tuppence worth.
