On a recent trip to Ireland, we took in "Trad" at Dingle and Doolin and were looking forward to checking it out in Galway. We stayed on a Saturday night and on the tour of the town's noted spots, learned that all but one does not host them on Saturday nights. The bartenders and doormen explained that the patrons are all about drinking and talking and the musicians find the crowds overwhelming, so they don't like to come out on Saturday evenings. You can likely get your fill of Trad in Dingle and Doolin, but if you're not going there, just plan your stay in Galway avoiding Saturday night!.
