Which act has number one albums in the 70's and 80's?

From what I can gather there are one or two more names to be added closer to the date.

if there are more to be added to the bill that would be awesome but me and the other half have our tickets as of this morning. cant wait. we missed the early bird tickets but 25 quid for a new years eve party aint bad.


edit* last year we paid 50 each for nancys where we got will leahy and hermitage green. we got a chinese buffett aswell but the hair i found in it ruined that for me.

all im saying is that for the price this is as good as youll get. prob better than the alternative in dolans anyway:D but im sure plenty of you like damo dempsey

And this forum is also full of that other Limerick mentality whereby anyone who expresses an opinion that somebody doesn't like is immediately harassed and attacked for expressing that opinion.

You'd be forgiven for thinking that it is in the Limerick Forums Charter that only 100% positive comments are allowed.

Then people wonder why problems are allowed to fester in this city, why incompetence is rewarded rather than punished and why when something goes tits up everybody stands around like apes asking how it happened.

Everyone is entitled to an opinion but you seem to have the guns out for Limerick!People like you just have this glass half empty mentality where you moan and whinge about Limerick being a dying city with nothing to do.I made this point already on the Cork City forum to the moaners and begrudgers on there.But wouldn't our main cities and towns be thriving if all the people moaning and pounding their keyboards into submission on sites like this actually went to the trouble of leaving their houses and heading into town and supporting their local businesses instead!When efforts are made by people in Limerick to improve the city and make Limerick a better place for both tourists and visitors alike you just moan and whinge some more and laugh and sneer at their efforts.When your not giving out about Limerick on here your giving out about Limerick on the Cork City forum!Im sorry for this rant but it's quite clear that no matter what people like you will always find something to complain about.:D

Oh and i was in Limerick this past week and there was a great buzz around the place.The Crescent was hoping and so was the city centre much to the consternation of the doom and gloom merchants!There was a great atmosphere around the city.Those rows of christmas trees with the lights on Thomas Street are lovely and the quayside will look really nice when the work is finished.To hell with the begrudgers Limerick is a fine city!:)

Im just saying that you have moaned on the culture thread and you have had another moan on here.Of course Limerick is not perfect.It has it's problems.There's aspects about Limerick that can be better and most people accept that but there's plenty of great things about Limerick as well.I just think the culture event and this concert are excellent initiatives.Of course maybe there's things that could be better about these events but all in all i don't think they deserve this negativity.People complain about there being no events on in Limerick.Well here are two events and still people are complaining!Giving out about Christmas lights being switched on too early also just sounds petty!Of course i think criticism needs to be taken on board because how can a place improve if you can't accept criticism but you just seem to be going way overboard with the glass half empty approach!

This is a discussion forum. I gave my opinion. If you can't handle opinions you don't like then maybe it is time you posted somewhere else.

no problem with you posting your opinion. as i said it could be better but try not to focus just on the negative.

by the way no need to be arrogant when your the only one with said opinion. maybe its not everyone else thats wrong............

I merely pointed out the inaccurate information being peddled by Will Leahy. Is that not allowed? Point me to the part of the forum charter where this is forbidden.

If I think the line-up sucks why is that having such a massive impact on your life? Are you involved with the concert? Maybe you should just get over it. This is a discussion forum, it would have much point if everyone came here to post the same thing.

But as per usual, if you don't lick arse in the Limerick forum you get harangued non-stop.

get over it you are derailing the thread

As i said criticism is something that should be welcomed and that shouldn't be ignored but there seems to be an anti Limerick agenda behind some of your posts.You don't seem to be genuinely intrested in Limericks welfare.There's always this running theme of negativity and belittlement in your posts.

Mod Post: Play nice folks. Disagree vigorously with one another if the need arises, but things like personal comments or telling folk to post elsewhere have no place here.

A section from an article on the leader website:

http://www.limerickleader.ie/news/anger-as-limerick-city-council-meeting-cancelled-at-short-notice-1-5739272

He pointed out that there were important issues to be heard, like his motion calling on the IRFU to formally apologise for inviting the apartheid-era South Africa side to Thomond Park.

With the support of Cllr Tom Shortt, Mr McNamara was to push for a memorial weekend for those who took part in the Spanish Civil War.

Although this idea was mooted earlier this year, no progress has been made because the cultural committee has not met in over eight months.

It was hoped that a decision could have been made to stage the weekend at this month’s council meeting.

City of Culture indeed

They've just announced on Facebook that the concert is strictly over 18's. So heads up.
