Firstly, very tempted to make the trip for the Prodigy, although probably ridiculously expensive.

Secondly, who the hell is Gilbert O' Sullivan?

If you're interested in The Prodigy I'd recommend you check out the Rockness festival on the banks of Loch Ness outside Inverness in Scotland. www.rockness.co.uk They're headlining it this year.

I myself have been the last 2 years when it was a 2 day festival however last thursday as well as announcing some headliners - basement jaxx, the prodigy, dizee rascal etc. they also proclaimed it would now become a 3 day festival wooooo hooooooo

Aer Arann fly direct from Dublin to Inverness and the last 2 years that I have been the flights worked out about 60 euro return. Also there is a Morrissons supermarket in Inverness where you can stock up realtively cheaply on supplies before getting your taxi to Dores Farm on banks of Loch Ness for one of the best festivals I have been to.

Check out the site anyway for a closer look :P

Asked the same question when I saw the line-up...

Gilbert O'Sullivan

---

Irish singer-songwriter Gilbert O'Sullivan will perform live on Saturday 20 June 2009. After successfully combining a flair for Beatlesque popcraft with an old-fashioned music hall sensibility he emerged as one of the most distinctive and popular performers of the early 1970s.

Looks nice alright although I do try avoid British festivals cos the exchange rate thing is always annoying. Plus I may be going Rock Am Ring around that time, so they'll prob be there.

Watch more Reeling in the Years if you dont know who Gilbert O'Sullivan is. I saw him in Glastonbury this year. Hes a good laugh but not 40euros worth of a good laugh.

I got tickets for Rod Stewart in Cork for my parents but just heard announcement that he's playing RDS too - now am wondering if I should get RDS tickets instead. I've never been to the Marquee so just wondering what its like and if it'd be worth the trek down for them

Thanks

Make a little mid-summer trip out of it. go for a few days, take in the county, see what it has to offer, go the gig. Otherwise I don't really know what the venue is like.

dolittle

hello everyone
heading down to crosby stills and nash in june
just wondering if anyone has done the trip from dublin before
and which they would advise would be the best way to head down
car, bus, rail, fly?
thanks

Any time I've gone to Cork for a gig, I've always gone by train. The train station is close enough to most accommodation and I believe it'd be close enough to the marquee site.

dolittle

great thanks
i`ll look into it

dolittle

just in case anybodys intrested in flying down
i booked flights with ryanair for 19 euro return
sharing a room in a b and b
soit will work out not too bad

I wonder if anyone here would know the capacity of the Marquee in Cork for fully seated events. I googled it and the capacity was given as 4000 but I dont think it would hold that many all seated.

Heading down tomorrow. Can anyone give me directions? We're staying near the bus station in the city centre. I've been searching for about an hour but I cant seem to get any solid directions or bus routes or anything. Ticketmaster is as usual useless!

Best way is by walking, only 15mins from the bus station. With your back to the station walk to the right for a block,when you pass Jurys Inn swing a right, look for the sextant pub just accross the bridge(stopping for a pint if required ). Take a left at the pub and follow the road the whole way around to a roundabout, take the left at the roundabout and keep walking, its on the right you cant miss it.

Brilliant thanks!

dolittle

was there on monday for crosby atills and nash amazing stuff
take the number 2 bus from outside the station just tell the driver where you are going and he will leave you about 5 mins walk to the venue
