Not surprised reading about the satisfaction of going solo here. A few people, in bands even, highly recommended me to go that route and just make stupid amounts of demos for fun. Easier said than done though when you lack space and are highly dysfunctional in getting all the gear set up.
Made some attempts about meeting up and jamming but in general, same issues as echoed before. For my age range (mid 20s and early 20s), I feel a lot of people have fear of commitment - In my and some friends experience, compared to other cultures, Irish don't have as much personalities with deep obsession for their passions. Maybe just a result of the low population density or a generational thing?
With older heads, - you can kind of sense that inner teenage metalhead in them spark up a bit but then wife/kids/job popups up and you hear 'sorry pal but...'!
I feel similar in some ways, with a shitty work schedule that sometimes has me across the country at short notice or working late. I find getting in to Dublin lately, is really stressful and expensive which makes me hesitant to advertise about getting something going outside of where I live.
