The Blasters and Jason Ringenberg

yknaa

Should be good. A date next week in Dublin for The Blasters and JR. Wednesday July 4th @ the Button Factory.

Curses! Gig cancelled. On a more positive note Dave Alvin is heading this way soon.

Jason Ringenberg is still playing though, it's been moved to Whelan's Upstairs venue instead. See the link for info.

Great news, thanks for posting this, OP. Hopefully the Scorchers gig is still a go for later this year too!

JATS in Sept.

Hybrid Moments

Sad news about Phil but it seems he's on the mend.

Looking forward to Jason, he never disappoints.

ned rierson

Jason played a blinder in Ballymore tonight. Roll on Wed.

blastman

What kind of a set did he do, Ned, I presume there's some Scorchers stuff thrown in?

ned rierson

solo, scorchers and farmer jason. and a few covers. bad news is that there will be no JATS irish gig in the autumn

blastman

Cr@p! You got talking to him afterwards, then?

Looks like I'll be taking a trip to Liverpool, so.....

ned rierson

yeah, had a chat afterwards. there was only about 20 people there so he had plenty of time to talk to anyone that wanted to. gonna head over to the uk myself for the leicester and york gigs. and maybe newcastle. love that band

blastman

Farmer Jason t-shirt at the ready, looking forward to this.....

blastman

Well, that was pretty good! Loved the story with the Dutch DJ for Absolutely Sweet Marie.

blastman

Ned, do you happen to know the name of the support act? I couldn't catch her name at the time.....

ned rierson

i was talking to her afterwards and i'm embarrassed to say i cant remember her name

tiki paul

The support act was Angie McLaughlin. She plays with Minnie and The Illywhackers, and formerly with The Sick And Indigent Songclub.

blastman

Cheers, I heard Jason call her Minnie at one point, but that was all I could get...

ned rierson

sad news. original scorchers drummer perry baggs has passed away after a long illness.

blastman

That's far too young.

Perry Baggs dies at 50

RIP

All is not lost! They are looking at a Dublin date:

"I'm looking at Dublin/Whelan's on 26 September, another last minute possibility - show of hands?" So, mail Deb Whittingon <warnerrue100@gmail.com> and let her know that you are interested in getting the band here. Thanks.

ned rierson

good news. hope it happens. and i've got the uk gigs to look forward too as well.:)

ned rierson

its confirmed. are you ready for the country ?

yknaa

Deadly. Looking forward to this a lot. Not long to wait either

blastman

Yee-haw!!!

Tickets have gone on sale now, €18 each.

blastman

Tonight's the night, folks!

yknaa

Should be great. Can recommend 'Against the grain' across the road from Whelans for a few pre-gig craft beers too

blastman

Very enjoyable gig, although the turn-out was a little disappointing (probably not helped by the short notice and the proximity of Marketing...sorry, Arthur's Day). Guess who won a setlist!?! (bonus points for identifying the actual songs)

ned rierson

Not the best JATS gig i was ever at but solid enough. Had a great chat with Warner before and after. Pity about the poor turnout.

yknaa

I really enjoyed it. Think it is my 4th time seeing them and this was better than the recent gig in the Academy. Fantastic night and a great setlist. Clive Barnes was top drawer too. Baffles me why they do not get a big crowd on each visit.
