It's gonna be rammed! Apparently when the frames played it a few months back, 3000 people showed up and the max capacity is only 150! Anyone going?

I was gonna go but seeing as three of the acts are gonna be at electric picnic I think I'll give it a miss. Always liked the Ruby Sessions but the birthday nights tend to be mobbed. No doubt you'll want to be there early!

actually all 4 acts are playing at the picnic!

gavin glass, the village hall, 10pm on Friday

What time do you reckon you would need to be there tonight in order to get in? I really want to go but can't go early!

If it's anything like it was the last couple of times I saw Glenn Hansard there you'll have to be there pretty early.
It's a bit annoying the way its done really, we got their early enough and there was no queue, so we went inside downstairs for a drink...but you cant queue from in there...you gotta go back outside.
Unless they've changed that now and let you queue from inside too?

The place was absolutely mobbed for Glenn Hansard. Brilliant night though!

Yeah I'm sorry I missed the Glen Hansard one alright! If I got there around 7.30/8pm would I stand a chance? I just don't want to leg it there and end up being disappointed by not getting in!

Spider_Baby

I haven't been there in a while to be honest, but used to go there all the time....which meant the staff recognised us and let us in to see Glenn Hansard, even though the place was mobbed already.
I think there is a lot of that...people letting mates skip the queue etc, so in reality I reckon only 100 people from the queue might actually get it.
I could be completely wrong this time though!

Yeah I'd say 7.30 / 8 and you should be okay. Even if there is no queue at that time you are probably better off starting the queue. It's better to queue for the hour or so, than sit inside for a beer only to come back out and find 1,000 people on the street
Good luck!

iamnothim

i'm gonna be getting there at 7.30 but i'm a shoe in thank god

iamnothim

anyone go? what did ye think?

smcgui

Please tell me it was awful, I got there in time, I even got one of those pit passes and then I wasn't feeling well and I was forced to go home before I ever got in the doors:(

iamnothim

sorry dude, it was ****ing amazing!!

tbh, i couldnt actually see the stage for the first three acts, but the sound was enough to carry. then, well, i was on the stage for the last act - so much fun, great crowd, great soundwise. i'd a good night, stayed drinking til very very late and am dead in work today

Dammit!
