no, finished that a long while ago, was costing too much money, had a fair few people cancelling on me at the last minute and then others who expected to be payed big money for playing a half hour gig to 10 people. It just wasn't working! (basically, do organise gigs right you need a lot of money behind you at the start and you need to be willing to take a hit for the first few months, I ran out of money quick enough).

I wouldn't mind doing them again if I could, Isaac Butts was an OK venue and more importantly Andy Colbert was dead sound, covered me when I had a few **** gigs and was generally a nice guy

If the announcement comes out on Friday bear in mind it's April 1st...

And its Blast we're talking about...

Ah now lads and lassies of Boards.ie..... give people the benefit of the doubt and lets see what the announcement is..... then if its not up to much you can run amuck with comments galore!

Mind you I have no previous experience with blast

Tombo

I have yet to experience anything of Blast also and am trying to defer any judgement until I see what the annoucement is but announcing that an announcement is on the way is one of the gayest things I have ever seen.

If you notice this notice you will notice that this notice is not worth noticing

scarfacemj

But the rain in Spain falls mainly on the plain.....and if ur more than 12 years of age you're too old for Blast.

I've never heard of it, what is it? Their website looks like a justification for genocide

I can see how genocide can be justified but as for for Blast....

garypope

so rumour has it all the Blast people quit, cos Rob was ripping them off.

ha ha!

will he never learn?

blast is mainly filled with 13-16 year olds... there will be more people willing to take the place of those who quit, if the rumours are true...

but it's hardly going to have a detrimental impact on the irish music scene...

miju

so anyone find out wot this bleedin thing is all about yet?

vibrant

They had a write-up in the Irish Times on Saturday - that must have been it.

scarfacemj

'Extra extra read all about it, Blast is sh1te' or something along those lines

dregin

I think "The Director" fúckwits thought they were breaking Blast up by leaving it or some such shíte.

Morons.

that adds insult to injury.... announcing the imminence of a major announcement and the major announcement is so crap that everyone misses it... i never liked blast anyway... only went once... to see turn... that wasn't so bad cos there was a bar upstairs... cos i couldn't have survived the gig without a pint

ThatBloke

Speaking of Turn, what's happened to them?

They're in the middle of recording their new album. First single is due to be released in May so keep an eye out.

I only went to Blast to see Turn aswell. Jesus that was a long time ago. I got up and sang with them at Blast in TBMC and Whelans. Those were the days... before my belly decided it wanted to get bigger

Shanannigan

speaking of turn again... is the new bassist still there...? how's he gettin on?

scarfacemj

The Price is Right?

miju

sorry (and im probably being really REALLy slow here) but im not getting the connection to insulting someone (which wasnt really an insult anyway :-) and brucie being the boss

scarfacemj
