EistMusic - Portlaoise

**Kavanagh's, Main Street, Portlaoise

éistmusic is a monthly acoustic music club in Portlaoise. Whether you like singer/songwriters, rock, pop, folk, traditional, classical, blues or jazz, éistmusic will provide an opportunity to enjoy performances by both well-known and emerging artists in intimate, atmospheric surroundings. Since we started in September 2006, we have had memorable performances by artists as diverse as Andy Irvine, Dermot 'Blues' Byrne and Duke Special, plus many local singers and musicians. Please note that, because other Portlaoise venues do so, éistmusic does not present full electric bands.

éistmusic is currently creating a database of future performers. If you are a musician, or member of a group who would like to be part of this exciting new venture, please contact Vincent or John by e-mailing eistmusic@eircom.net. Please note that all performers should be over 18 years of age. éistmusic performers please note that, given the capacity of the venue (maximum 60), and our belief that you should be paid as much as possible, there will be no guestlist for any event. This will be strictly adhered to. Both organisers, incidentally, pay for their own tickets for each event. We regret that, at present, support acts will be paid travel expenses only. éistmusic promises performers a listening, appreciative audience. éistmusic promises patrons a wide variety of interesting, enjoyable performers. Please note that admission is by ticket only. Tickets for any event will be available from the venue (057 8621744) from the date of the previous event. Please note that tickets for all éistmusic events are offered to our regular patrons first. Any remaining tickets will then go on general sale.**
