Live music, Dublin 2020

I've shared this shot previously (originally on Instagram, and then again on the blog on 2021). As I'm back in Dublin this week for the second time this year it feels like I should revisit some stops during other visits to the city. The shot above was particularly poignant at the time as it felt like this was my last trip before COVID took off. Of course I was in Mexico as things were shutting down in mid March 2020 so this wasn't my last trip, but looking back on it, this Dublin time stood out as I was interacting with colleagues and community.

I anticipate I'll make a visit or two at the Norseman pub in Temple Bar (or may have already done so by the time this post is live). It is one of my favorite stops in Dublin and a place I've returned to many times. There is live music seven nights a week at the Norseman, and they have good food too.
