What we’re about
Do you like going to classical, folk or jazz concerts, and you’d like to go with other people who do too? Or you’re just not sure which concerts are going on?
Dublin Music Lovers is making it easy to enjoy music in Dublin regularly.
Please join our WhatsApp group to keep in touch and receive reminders about all our events.
Our commitments to you:
💶 Affordability: no concert will cost more than €20 to attend, and at least 1 in 4 of our events will be free of charge
😊 Friendly interaction: we’ll have a meeting point at the venue where you can meet other attendees before the event, and there will be an optional visit to the pub afterwards.
🎻🎺 Variety: we don’t have a fixed genre of music, but generally, concerts will be classical, folk or jazz music.
What you’ll need to do:
🎟 Book your own ticket: each event will have clear instructions on how to get a ticket, and the costs. Marking yourself as Going on Meetup will not book an event ticket!
⏱ Arrive on time: many concerts won’t admit late arrivals, so you need to be there before the start. This also means we can meet and sit together in the venue.
🥳 Come prepared to have fun!
We welcome your ideas - many great concerts happen in Dublin without people knowing about them, so please share things that you hear about!
🎄🎄🎄 Get into the Christmas spirit with some of the finest singers from the Royal Irish Academy of Music. Hear some classic carols along with some Baroque music in an excellent setting.
🕰 Meeting time: 7:15pm inside the RIAM. Enter the building and keep walking as far as you can to the back of the building. I will be standing beside the steps. Concert starts at 7:30pm.
🎟 IMPORTANT - TICKETS! - You must buy your own ticket directly from RIAM. Tickets are €11.50. I have bought seat H16 so I’d recommended buying near there.
Afterwards we will go to Kennedy’s pub just across the road if you’d like to socialise or reflect on the performance!
