hi all! i'm moving to Dublin from Portugal to study at BIMM this September, i've been trying to find a room but i've come to realize the housing situation is a mess lol
does anyone know places other than daft to look for rooms? i've found some "good" ones there (considering how bad/expensive everything else is) but either people don't answer me or the dates aren't compatible
my ideal dates would be beginning of September until end of May but the latter can be flexible, my budget is preferably in the 600-750 range, 800 if i really need to push and its worth it. im aware with this budget id obviously be sharing a room/bathroom etc and im okay with it!
im looking in dublin 7 area as that seems to be the one with reasonable prices but also close to dublin 8/the city center but im open to other areas around 20-35 mns walk away from the city center !
if anyone here has any info and can help it would be very much appreciated!!
ive also looked into student residence's accommodation etc and while they're very nice they're unfortunately way out of budget for me
thanks in advance!

Hi you guys, I'm moving to Dublin to study bass at uni so obviously I want to take my bass with me, has anyone here taken their bass on a Ryanair flight?
I'm specifically talking about buying an extra seat for it and taking it next to you in the cabin, I've seen people taking their guitars but never a bass and I had a chat with their customer support that said anything that's taller than 69cm (which pretty much any bass is) can't go in the cabin..
Anyone here have any experience?
I'm terrified to send it through checked luggage but maybe thats my only option
For context I'm in Portugal , my bass is a Sire V5 5 string

Ok guys I'm going to a jam session tomorrow (I've been there a couple times already , but never played) a drummer (and a few other friends) I play with at a band/school is also going and she's fucking incredible like playing for almost 20 years..

Anyway, I've been playing for a while but I suck at jamming/improvising and am really insecure about it I have no idea what to do..

Not even gonna lie I have a huge crush on the drummer and love playing with her so I don't wanna be terrible in front of her 😭

The Jams there are really cool, really cozy etc

Mostly groovy and funky stuff sometimes a blues

The people I'm playing with and myself are really into funky/soul/jazzy stuff (eg. Jamiroquai) so I'm guessing that's the vibe we'll playing but I've never played at a jam before so I'm TERRIFIED
