    Delighted to see these two lads are coming to Cork on their tour, they are playing tomorrow night in Cyprus Avenue...not sure what sort of stuff they will do for a live set but looking forward to it.

    Anyone else going?

    I'll be at the Dublin gig, equally excited. Let us know what they're like tonight.

    I will do John, I can't wait. I love their stuff and am very interested to see how they will pull off a live performance.

    OK, the gig was great. Adam and Brian were held up a bit due to some technical difficulties but after a minute or two we were all set.

    On stage they had three girls joining them on cello and 2 violins.
    They started with the lovely tones of Mulholland.

    They also played some pieces from Requiem for Dying Mothers.
    I am a bit hazy on some of the other pieces they played as I have yet to listen to the new album but some did sound familiar so maybe from Gravitational Pull or
    the Ballasted...not sure!

    Anyway it was a great experience to see these guys play live...now to buy their latest CD online.

    I can never identify the songs when I hear them out of the context of the albums so I haven't a clue if they played the same stuff as in Cork but it was a cracker of a gig. The only downside was the noise from the pub section of Whelans bleeding through the walls.

    ah yeah, the outside noise would ruin it a bit alright, for this kind of music you need total silence in between their highs and lows!

    It's a pity I didn't have a CD with me because they were just hanging around after putting their stuff away and it would have been nice to get a signature on the CDs.

    glad U enjoyed the gig anyway John.
