Pronounced Row sheen Dove, the list of people to have played in this intimate venue is astounding. Greats such as Ray Manzarek, John Paul Jones and Steve Earle have all played here as well as Irish legends such as Christy Moore, The Frames, The Saw Doctors and Andy Irvine.

Established for over 20 years the Roisin has undergone a dramatic change since 2004 when it was taken over by a group of local new owners.
