So is my 19th.

How will I get an over 18's wristband seeing as I turn 18 the day it starts ????

Disappointing line-up. Andrew Maxwell is the only act I'll probably go see.

Beau

What were you guys expecting from the line up? I think its pretty good to be honest! Sash! with the headphone disco should be great craic with some knack dancing too http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P86fPsC_cCQ&feature=related, SClub and 5ive will be a bit of fun and Vengaboys will be serious craic! It'll beat your usual Bradys or Roost night.

Antbert

Do any of you have The Vengaboys on your ipods?

I can't see the fascination...

The last time they graced us (not me personally because I'm a fun-sponge who whinged like I am doing in this post) with their presence, everyone was saying it wasn't them. And quite frankly, how would we know? More worrying... How did the people who spotted it know? Avid Vengaboys fans I guess.

I hear S Club 3 (I don't get it, three of them?) are playing. I'll despair of humanity if that sells out.

EDIT: Re-read and S Club 3 have already been mentioned. So I didn't mean to say it in such a revelatory(is that a word?) manner.

Beau

ah come on vengaboys have some solid good laugh tunes. I went to see them last night and it was a great night.

LeixlipRed

Ah you can't really defend the Vegaboys. They're deep in the depths of ****e music. However, I will admit one can have guilty pleasure moments were such music might appeal. Generally they occur when massive amounts of alcohol have been consumed

Rozabeez

hmm, I've bought no tickets yet, but I do love headphone discos! It's like SHUT UP DON'T TALK TO ME I HAVE HEADPHONES *Dances alone in smoking area*

I've a vague recollection of being wheeled through the Arts block on an office chair with my headphones still on last year, fun times.

Yeh thats what I mean and I think thats what works during RAG week, I'd much prefer Vengaboys over some 'serious' Irish band like The Coronas or god forbid The Saw Doctors.

Antbert

You'd pick the Vengaboys over the Saw Doctors?!

Unimpressed.

I think it's the same kind of psyche that makes everyone go 'Oh my God I LOVE this song' when Dolly Parton comes on in The Roost. You don't love this song, but you're very drunk and you recognise it.

I however am unflinchingly cool, and will never go to the Vengaboys. Unless all my friends are going. Or some of my friends are going. Or I get given a ticket. Or someone says 'oh hey! We should go to the Vengaboys!' One of those was the reasons I went to East 17. To my credit, I left after two songs and moaned all night about how I'd paid for a ticket.

The Coronas are even lower on the scale of ****e music than Vengaboys :eek: At least the Vengaboys never took themselves seriously. But I agree with you in general. No point having really decent acts as you'd never get tickets and it's not really a week for music appreciation. It's all about winning the RAG Cup really though. Or regaining the title in my case. 2 years is a long time...

mp3guy

Just goes to show you can't please everyone. I for one think the line up is great, since I hate indie.

bright_eyes

We'll probably give the su a miss rag week and hit brady's, roost.....

Eric Cartman

lovin the lineup this year, Sash :P , im so happy its not full of indie or too much rock, nice bit of dance thrown in, gonna go monday to wednesday, couldnt be bothered with thursday in the slightest

JeanH

I'd love to be going but due to being busy lately I failed to see the posters in time and that 2Unlimited will be at it! My first single was No Limit I've checked out their website though and it seems it'll just be Anita, Ray won't be joining her according to that. I was *truly disappointed. Truly, truly, truly.*

Are there still tickets available anyone know?

Now all NUIM needs to do is try get Corona (Rhythm of the Night, Try Me Out), Haddaway (What is Love?), Whigfield (Saturday Night), Doop. I should get the job of sourcing the acts! Music connoisseur I tell you.

Rozabeez

Tickets still onsale!

PrivateEye

my plan for the week:

Monday: SU during day, off to O' Neills.
Tuesday: SU during day, off home to sleep
Wednesday: SU during day, Bradys
Thursday: ANDREW MAXWELL, Roost
Friday: Sleep.

not touching any of them 'tribute band/90s band' events.

cian1500ww

I'm just after finding out I have a physics test during Andrew Maxwell. Talk about a pain

LeixlipRed

My plan is to hold off til Thursday night. Then get wasted. And assume no one wants to be taught on Friday morning...

What sort of negativity is this? Sure you can do it when you're drunk. I type twice as fast when I'm drunk. Or mash the keyboard and hope for the best

Rozabeez

I'll actually just do it tomorrow/Sunday. 'Tis fieldnotes, see.

Jellybabs
