  • Theres a lady who plays the harp just opposite the main entrance to Trinity college who is really good. temple bar also has plenty of buskers
  • Grafton St. is full of them. "Statues", standard guitar busking, string bands, chinese dancers, samba bands, and the occasional wee boy shouting some incomprehensible "song" at everyone until they slip him a few euro to shut up.
  • Mad Mary - dances to praise God in O'Connell Street, hitting herself with flowers.
  • It always comes down to Grafton St. Two problems, however: you need to teach that string quartet something other than Pachelbel's Canon in D and get rid of the guy spouting Yeats' life's work... it's beautiful but not from you.
  • The best place for buskers is probably Grafton Street, Dublin 2, but you can find some around Temple Bar, and Henry Street.
