A Night on the Lash, Dublin, Ireland - 14th December 2012

We're over in County Dublin for a couple of days and as Evelyn and "Da Wheeze" offer to babysit, Nosher and Isobel get the bus from Monkstown in to town for a mini pub crawl of three of Dublin's boozers: The Dawson Lounge (which claims to be Dublin's smallest), The Bar Bruxelles and - over in Smithfield - The Cobblestone, for a spot of real authentic Irish "trad" music.
