Fabrik closed again last weekend so I can't see who will take it on as the last management seemed to be trying everything, even not charging in. I guess nightclubs are pretty much a thing of the past, although I suppose not everywhere. The arguemebt that people are drinking at home first doesn't really make a difference as that was happening when I was in my early 20's , so it hasn't changed that much. I know drink prices are more expensive, but what really is stopping a nightclub working here? I don't really get this purple flag thing either. I can't really see Tralee being awarded it to be honest. We will see I guess.

We could do with something a little different in Tralee tbh...the only band I see that are worth going to are Avatar...and they end up in the abbey quite a bit Edit:.... I may have had a point when I started...but I meandered just a tad

The mall looks fantastic but the few bits strewn around are ruining the overall look.
