I just re-read those posts below and realised that they read more like a primary school 'What I Did On My Summer Holidays' (drank pints and slept in a car, teacher) essay than a blistering review of all things trad. I won't do it again, I promise. Plus it was an awful amount of typing for someone as pathologically lazy as me.
Anyways, to sum up Miltown. The problem is, there are just too many people there. The pubs are too packed, everyone is too drunk and any session with even shred of potential is quickly hammered into oblivion by either drunk participants or spectators. So the temptation is not to play and join the drunk people, and then of course less people play, leading to less music again. And that is a very quick sum up of what, in my wholly accurate, well researched and professional opinion, is wrong with Miltown.
The pints were good though. I'll have to give them that.
