ah have a little faith, he's not always the "Special Guest".....'usually', but not 'always'.
He might be okay anyhoo...... worse things happen at sea, umm or so i'm told

gracie

do you have to be famous to play at this and/or is there anyway of getting in touch with whoever's organising it?

magpie

do you have to be famous to play at this

If not I'll be down to do my kazoo rendition of "rose parade"

Not sure really but since its on the Village you could always try mailing Derek Nally derek.nally@oceanfree.net , or John Hennessy music@thevillagevenue.com , they deal with booking enquiries there.
Or maybe just a general mail to info@thevillagevenue.com will do the trick!
Good luck with that:)

Anyone know where to buy tix?
- as of this afternoon Ticketmaster knows nothing about the gig, but maybe that'll change.
I'd just rather get tickets sooner than later

Did Soundcellar tell you that????
- i'm having a cr*p time trying to find out anything on this.

I rang Ticketmaster and Soundcellar today- both said they'd never heard of the gig.
Rang Road, who said they didnt have any plans to get tix.
The Village sent me an email saying tickets are only available on the door on the nite.
Since their website says "on sale now!" i rang them to confirm which was right, the girl who answered said that the website was a misprint..... so i'd better come early oin the 19th if i was that interested:mad: :mad:

This has had me so pissed off today:rolleyes:

I really hope yr right Lord G.:D

Yeah it is. Borrow some decent ID and look old.
I was at a gig there over Christmas and a ****load of people were turned away.

lordgoat

sorry mydarkstar i was just quoting the 'turn site' about tickets and presumed that they're rght (my bad) but i'm inclined to just turn up early on the night, going to give road a ring on monday and if they haven't heard by then that they're getting some - it'll prob be pay in on the door,


and yea the village is quite strict on the door and you more than likely will be asked for ID, its the only place i get hassle in dublin and i haven't be underage for oh a few years now!!

hope to see ye there,

mydarkstar

i'm gonna stop getting so damn worked up over the ticket fiasco, and just look forward to the night, i'd say it's gonna be fantastic.
Have been singing in my mind all the songs i'm hoping are gonna be played, theres so many!
Ollie was talking on NewYearEve about loving Clementine and Angeles, so they should be on his list too (hehe, i've been rabbiting on about this gig to everyone!:p )

Since the people doing the gig are fans of Elliotts i'm sure none of them would want do any of his songs an injustice, but I only really realised today that a small part of me is still expecting to hear them sung in his voice....

According to the Village, doors are at 8........ does that seem a bit late to anyone else?
nope, just me then:o

lordgoat

yea looking forward to the gig - decided to def. going barring a disaster, and yea it'll be good to hear some really good music, angeles is a sweet song too,

8 seems ok to me but jst go a bit early and drink in the village bar is my plan, probv be gettin a trai up from galway on monday so i should get in to dub around 6:30-7pm so not too long to wait..

see you there dark,
