Find Musicians in Dublin, Ireland
Dublin has a music legacy out of all proportion to its size: U2, Thin Lizzy, the Dubliners, and a current scene led by acts like Fontaines D.C. Bandry connects Ireland's players, local-first.
Why Bandry
Built for finding people locally.
Local, not regional
Radius-filtered means you see people who can actually make it to your rehearsal, not someone hours away.
The full music chain
Studios, mixing engineers, photographers, videographers, designers. Everything to take a project from rehearsal to release.
Direct contact, always
No in-app messaging to babysit. Link up, and they reach out to you directly. Off-platform, on your terms.
The scene
Dublin has the depth.
A legacy that travels
From Thin Lizzy and U2 to Fontaines D.C., Dublin keeps exporting talent. Find collaborators by role and radius.
Trad to post-punk
Irish traditional music and a sharp rock-and-post-punk scene live side by side. Role posts fit whatever you play.
Ireland's hub
Dublin anchors the country's music. Set your radius and the bulletin reaches it.
On the ground
Where Dublin plays.
A quick map of the Dublin scene: the indie-reachable rooms and the shops that keep it running. Bandry connects you to the players who fill them, and the Resources tab pins the rest near you.

Reading the Dublin bulletin and endorsing posts are free forever. Posting your own ad and linking up run on a subscription, $9.99 a month or $79.99 a year, after a 14-day free trial of everything. Bandry never takes a cut of any gig or arrangement you work out.
What kinds of musicians and pros are on Bandry in Dublin?
All of them: drummers, guitarists, bassists, singers, and keyboard players, plus producers, mixing and mastering engineers, photographers, videographers, designers, and studios. Dublin's scene runs deep, and role-based posts cover the whole chain from forming a band to finishing a record.
How close are the Dublin musicians Bandry shows me?
