Pindrop Performances is a collective of musicians and promoters who aim to provide occasions for musical performance that have an atmosphere half way between the concert hall and the pub back room. Quiet and respectful, yet not overly stuffy and formal.
Following a 2 year run of monthly events at the Port Mahon Pindrop took a long break. We then returned in December 2008 and are now hosting an ongoing series of concerts at the Holywell Music Room, with infrequent informal social events at the Half Moon pub.
