    Hay :) i only found this chat now..
    i wana go to maynooth aswell, science education is my number one (if i get the points!) and then after that science, biological and bio med..anything that i can eventually end up teaching..
    i cant wait :) every so often my mum comes home with a new folder or something really random that i can bring to college :L
    if you dont get accomadation on campus, where can you get it? :S


    oh, good luck to everyone in their exams!!

    Email the accommodation office and ask for the housing list there is usually a good few places on that list left by results time.
    I was pretty sure I had well over the points needed for my course and went to Maynooth the day before the results came out, with the housing list and got a house then. Might be an idea, as you will have a better choice just before everyone else is looking.
    Also if a couple of your friends are going to Maynooth you could have a look on daft.ie and maybe get a house together?
    And if you are really stuck by the start of semester, there is always a few places kept free on campus :)

    Yo dude.

    Are you taking any singers?

    I could provide vocals that many bands would be sought after.

    I can also play a bit of guitar, but not as well as I sing:P


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 912 ✭✭✭Norrdeth


    If you need a sound engineer/tech/recording engineer, I'd be happy to offer my services for very little money!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 100 ✭✭MarkTheBaby


    So we have like 5 singers, 4 guitarists, a tambourine/accordian player, a manager and a sound engineer.

    I was thinking of names and a great one came to mind ....The Commitments :p


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 251 ✭✭brian93


    I'd say off to the church choir for the lot of us :p

    Of course dude! We all know how hard it is to find a decent male vocalist. The question is, who do you sound like? Low like Eddie Vedder or high like Sting or Robert Plant?

    Of course Niamh :p.

    Nonsense, we'd play far more controversial music, have waaay more arguments and break up twice as fast, putting The Commitments to shame :rolleyes:.

    Likely off-campus for me, I have relatives in Maynooth.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 100 ✭✭MarkTheBaby


    I'm hoping for campus but we'll see if I get it! :)

    I could play bass if you have one! Bassist and singer. I actually love playing bass. Played it in a band a couple of years ago and just loved riffing with it. We could have a few different singers and loads of members like The Dirty Projectors or any of those New York bands! :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29 plug_in_baby


    HI guys! Just found this thread, I'm hoping to do Media Studies with English & Music in Maynooth in Sep :D! Would be nice to get to know a few peeps before I go down!!

    Also I'd love to join this band - If ye need a piano player, extra guitarist or another singer lemmie know ! ;)

    That would be class, having a lineup that's constantly changing instruments and such, like Arcade Fire or something!

    We should all arrange to meetup in September sometime once we've settled to see if we can get something good going! :D

    So, sitting my Leaving Cert this year, and I have Maynooth down as my first choice on the CAO (and the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, maybe 5th), going for Arts (English and Music, hopefully). Just thought it might be an idea to post a thread for anyone hoping to get in this year, who might not know anyone going, to get to know anyone else coming in, see if you can make acquaintance beforehand. Might make starting college a bit easier, or less daunting or something! This is meant to be nothing more than a conversation thread, really, a starting point! Making it easier for the shy types, maybe. So, yeah...

    We're going for the same course! Well I'm doing a BMus with English, but same diff :P I'll probably be in a lot of the same classes as you :)
