Most roads actually do go somewhere, and if you come to a dead end just turn around and start over. I'll bet if they have roads in Ireland they also probably have maps, which you can learn to read.
I don't really play Irish music, but some years ago I spent some time with the button accordian (the old style two row, not the modern chromatic one). Anyway, at Fiddlers Grove one year I was playing some tunes with a friend who is a vey good Irish fiddler, and he said "If we were in Ireland right now people would be buying us drinks." Sounds like fun!
Yep! I was playing fiddle at a good trad session tonight in Toms bar in Killucan great tunes a few good songs. Got fed sandwiches and two pints of Guinness. Didn't put my hand in my pocket.

NC last time I was in Scotland, for my 60th, my son and I rented a car. We hunted out castles and distilleries by day and pubs with live music at nite. FOr 10 days we did not fail in finding at least one of each every day. Pubs, we'd ask the hotel or BnB if they knew of any and went from there. ANd yeah, we got into the weeds a few times, on single lane roads(?) that were 6 inches wider then our rented Fiat 500, and NO GPS, and we survived, in fact the best stuff we found was just by hunting around.
