    Simples; as the title says what ents would you like to see?

    In terms of Bands; I'd love to see Corona's and Two Door Cinema Club playing.

    Comedians; David O'Doherty. Saw him with Flight of the Conchords and thought he was hilarious.

    Person; I'd love to see Morgan Kelly from UCD guest speak. The guy knows a lot about the state we're in and how to get us out of it.

    Tiny Tempah,The Corona's,Neil Delamere,Tommy Tiernan,Andrew Maxwell,Rubberbandits,Pendulum...thats all off the top off my head Tiny Tempah would be class if we could get someone like him for rag week but it wont happen !!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 695 ✭✭✭TheSpecialOne


    Two Door Cinema Club would be unreal!!Coronas no thanks they have played everywhere in this country!Would we have any chance of getting The Script?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,334 ✭✭✭reunion


    Would we have any chance of getting The Script?

    Not a hope I'd say


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,591 ✭✭✭skeleton_boy


    Of the Irish bands which might be possible:
    Two Door Cinema Club
    Fight Like Apes (I know they played here last year but they were unreal)
    Fighting With Wire

    A few acts from farther a field that are ranging from probably unrealistic to never going to happen :
    Bombay Bicycle Club
    Brandon Flowers
    Delpic
    The Drums
    Editors
    Explosions In The Sky
    Foals
    Friendly Fires
    Klaxons

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 203 ✭✭citizenerased1


    ill be starting in september too :)

    id like to see two door cinema club or tinie tempah!:D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 172 ✭✭entropic


    +1 for David O'Doherty, he is brilliant. Went to see him in dolans earlier in the year and it was class. The guy who supported Neil Delamere last year was very funny, he would be good a the headline tho probably wouldnt sell out. Colm Murphy is probably not going to come back after last years fiasco but I'd love to see him again. Ed Byrne too.

    Mumford and Sons would be good as would Heirs to Nothing.
    Id really really love to see Newton Faulkner here (AND I WILL :D:D)

    There was a mix up in the advertising of the gig and the Jean Monnet(or whichever one is under the ski slopes) wasn't even half full which he was aggrieved at since he drove down from Dublin


    Dylan Moran would be epic

    This only really works with 3rd years or 4th years. The Blizzards played in UL about 35 times in the last 4/5 years, to a smaller and less interested crowd with each visit

    Dara O'Briain isn't unrealistic, but expecting students to pay the ticket price is and that's the only thing hampering a gig like that.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,039 ✭✭✭Seloth


    When would these actually be on?

    You would expect any UL student to have the brains to know I was messing there.

    Keep nit-picking away there like a good lad, i'm sure it makes you happy


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,092 ✭✭✭CiaranMT


    Thank fcuk we won't be having The Blizzards again, glad to see the back of their completely average music.

    Anything decent imo would either be too big or would not draw a crowd, especially the UL crowd. As a whole we seem to delight in the banal.

    Mike Slott, Hudson Mohawke, Flying Lotus, Rustie, Benga, some other electronica & dubstep heads are what I'd love to see. Something different. Massive Attack would be absolutely impossible but unbelievable :cool:

    So i got a warning for the top post. Did he get a warning for nit picking at my post which was obviously messing? Does that count as a breach of the peace?

    You know, sometimes your friends and the experienced posters can be as guilty as the newcomers. You would think, Sceptre, that as a mod that you would want to keep the newcomers on the site rather than driving them away

    I'd pay for Dara O' Briain. He's a genius!

    With you on the first two bud, not heard much of the lattter two. Seen Adebisi Shank a while ago, great band in a small venue.

    You got a warning? Ah lads... There's modding and then there's being rather precious about nonentities... Chillax :pac:

    Bell x1 would be great and maybe possible??

    The funny thing is that it's not even that warning that i'm annoyed about. He gave me a warning for a post 10 times more harmless in the accommodation thread at the weekend

    Come on lads keep it on topic; if you've issues discuss it with the mod.

    If we're talking about dream bands then Flight of the Conchords without a doubt. Wouldn't mind seeing Delorentos again; thought they were really good the time they played.

    That'd be the greatest thing EVER!

    Checked out some of their stuff after I seen this and I'd love to see them.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,608 ✭✭✭✭sceptre


    Heya

    As you guys know, if there's an issue with moderation I'm very happy to discuss it by PM. That's what's done on the entire site (rather then slinging a hook around the thread and driving it off on a tangent about a yellow card or a warning) so that's the way we do it here. And yeah, there was a warning issued for getting personal and insulting with another forum member. And another one over the weekend for making a comment about reposting a post made by another member that I had deleted partly for inaccuracy and partly for legal reasons (like it or not, mods have a duty to stop things that may result in the site getting sued, unfortunately that's a call I have to make, and making comments about reposting dodgy posts like that will get a warning zap anywhere on boards.ie). I'm not in the habit of issuing cards for fun, nor am I going to start.

    Giggles are cool but politeness is cheap. Giggles are a bonus, reasonable politeness is expected - even in a social forum like this one. Virtually all of you get that and I rather appreciate that you do, it makes the forum better and my life easier. There aren't very many of them issued here (usually about one a fortnight or a month, as opposed to Politics, where I issue substantially more and rightly so). Now, if anyone wants to discuss that, it's very easy to send me a PM, which will get replied to asap. If something ever needs to be escalated to the admins from this forum, one of the other site admins will handle it for fairness - there are about 15 of us so I don't act as final arbiter in any decision I make as mod of the local forum here. In the meantime though, acting the insulting git is out as it always has been (the standard required isn't very high) and I'm far more concerned about reasonable (and I stress, reasonable) common courtesy rather than the needs of anyone to insult anyone else. Yellow cards are nudges - they're not serious but they're to be noticed. They're usually actually less serious and less noticeable to everyone else than being called out publicly on-thread and being asked to behave and learn some basic manners. See, now it's far more public than it was intended to be when the card was issued (I don't have a problem with that - it's for the forum member's benefit that it's kept on the nudge level).

    Comments by PM to me if you want to. This thread is about what band, comedian etc you guys would like to see in UL - it's a good idea, make it about that.

    Just got offered a place in UL. I read that Tommy Emmanuel is playing UL? Would love to see him. The man is a genius - and an all-round entertainer

    Ah, now that one'll cost you. €22.50 as a student by the looks of things. The SU-run comedy & music events are usually rather cheaper than that but apparently he's rather good.

    These guys would be awesome for a music/comedy gig, though getting them might be difficult without the proper setup




  • Closed Accounts Posts: 81 ✭✭FerrisBueller


    NOT The Blizzards :) X amount of times in the last 4/5 years has been enough :)
    Also whilst I'm not a big fan of them apparently N-Dubz put on a great show and have played in plenty of unis in the UK.
    But if you can get Pendulum, I'm there.

    I'll pay that no problem.


    Would love to see Sinnerboy play UL.. but I wonder how many students actually know who Rory Gallagher is since they listen to modern crap most of the time..

    begin slating for that remark.. :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 354 ✭✭snazzy


    Realistic:
    Fred
    Bell X1
    Fight Like Apes
    Two Door Cinema Club (maybe,... just maybe)

    Unrealistic:
    Flight of the Conchords
    Paolo Nutini
    Calvin Harris
    Mystery Jets
    Wild Beasts
    Local Natives
    and a rake more

    Pretty happy with Johnny Flynn. Love him.

    As for comedians, I´d love Dara O, Michael McIntyre or Bill Bailey. Having seen the former two, I´d particularly love Bill Bailey,. But there´s not a flying fiddler´s fart we´d get him.

    +1 to those two highlighted.

    It'd be a seriously rocking night to warm up with Paolo Nutini and then into the Lodge to here Calvin Harris spinning :D

    That would be the funniest thing I would ever see! Calvin Harris spinning in the grand surrounds of the lodge......possibly even doing rock the boat :D

    I know, right!?
    If only. I have a thing for Scottish men and was terribly disappointed when Calvin was advertised in Trooms but that fell through and I missed out on Mr. Nutini for this Arthur´s Day.
    If he is in Cork before Arthur´s Day, why not book him for earlier in the week. Hmmm?
    Could be done!

    Thats as bad as being a grammar nazi. He was obviously messing. That deserves a warning if there being handed around for correcting peoples spelling. and still 6 times in 4 years is aheck of a lot.

    Back on topic. I think people are being a bit unrealistic with some of them bands

    Something like Local Natives or Grizzly Bear would be rather epic.

    Not that that would happen.

    As long as we don't have The Blizzards and The Coronas playing every night of the week. Really hate The Coronas.
