    The pitches are in terrible condition

    That'd be the C&S issue I was referring to :) (smile for us agreeing, not the state of the pitches)

    Any gig/concert on that surface will turn it to bog/marshland more than 'pitch' I imagine :( (sad for state of pitches)

    Will someone put up a list of activities and events for rag week when it becomes public? Just for those of us on co-op etc.

    I'm sure a list will be posted at some point. :)
    Firstly, 'Undercover Creeps' last year were amazing. Poor crowd, but a great set and everyone there (planned or not) seemed to enjoy the gig

    +1. Was there by pure accident when we were waiting for some of the lads to head over to Elm Park for a house party and they were amazing! As you say, a very poor crowd, but I reckon if the place was packed it would have been one of the highlights.
    I heard from a mate a couple of years ago (open to correction, sans Oxegen) that Christy Moore's gigs are now "alcohol free" <- a direct quote from my mate at the time ... not entirely sure how true it is or not though.

    Well I know Christy himself is off the beer.... and I've heard rumours about this as well, but if he agreed to play then there's really no way to make it alcohol free unless you were to close Stables.

    No point really in even discussing Christy Moore playing, there's no way he's going to play for a drunken raucous crowd of 18-25 year olds when he doesn't even like people clapping when he's playing.

    lisa hannigan is designed that everyone comes in and is quiet and she sings and everyone listens. she's not drunken festival student people not listening only want to listen to galway girl etc.

    That's what I was thinking as well. She'd suit Java's, I'd say.

    If last year was anything to go by.... then yeah. And I was only there in the middle of the day.... so I shudder to think how bad it got at night :pac:

    Line-up is now on anfocal.ie for anyone who's interested.

    Personally, I'm impressed by the lineup. Definitely a step-up on Fresherfest.

    Joking aside, the Saw Doctors'd nearly do it for the laugh I'd say....

    Some bands to consider:


    Storyfold - I swear, I'll love the SU forever if ye get these guys, they're bloody brilliant. The singer is Paddy McKenna from 2FM, just released their first album last year, bloody brilliant, a definitely possible to get.

    Jus' saying!! :D:D:D
