Wow thanks guys, id listen to most music, except metal (sorry ) and chart dance but mostly singer songwriter/indie.

Ill have a look at these sites.

What type of music is Tom Mc Crae?

Hunter S

...sorry and hard fi?

p.pete

Hard Fi are quite good - were nominated for Mercury prize. Can't really give a description of their music but if you're considering going to see them it'd be well worth picking up a copy of their album first (CCTV I think it's called).

<edit>

there's also ticketmaster.nl - hard-fi seem the best bet though (competing with Michael Bolton, Dubliners on tour and Jamiraquoi)

lmao ya i saw!! I found two Tom Mc Rae albums on my HD and ive been listening all night, wow, very nice, and kinda romantic!! Good choice. My gf will be delightfully surprised!!

Now off to listen to Hard fi

just to let you know the french crowds are notorious for being grumpy f***ers at gigs. they wont sing along and be careful that you dont block anyones view.

Wow, sweeping generalisation in being totally wrong shocker. I spent a year in France, and went to many gigs and I wouldn't quite say that's true. In Paris, they seemed a little bit more...static than Dublin, but certainly in Lyon they were usually as good if not better than the crowds in Dublin. It depends alot on what gig you go to and where it's on too.
