    pity but can see why as were all bunch a stinge bags here lol and it takes a lot to gain support here. Ive been to a few tribute nights for rock bands and they be a good crowd at them but prob not justify a big act playing here. The Darkness playing Daytripper in 2015 was class but wasant overally busy if i recall

    Stuff Like UB40/Madness and other mod scene type stuff does well here as does the usual smash hits/throw back stuff

    Ian Brown of Stone Roses fame or Richard Ashcroft would be nice for the tuesday. Could be something aimed towards teenagers/young aldults and be a newish band

    ub40 are free the tuesday ha

    I feel the same way about Nathan Carter but you don't see me calling for him to be banned :rolleyes:

    Seen as they were emailing out 15% discount codes to everyone a couple of weeks ago and giving away loads of free tickets my guess is they didn’t get the numbers and had to pull the plug

    the wife was on faceache last night and showed me live videos from bingo loco. i couldn't think of anything worse! few dancers on a stage, a fella on the decks, everyone playing along to organised fun at their benches and a few poppers of confetti every now and then. Kill disco on prozac

    There's a Heineken tent selling pints of Heineken and Cider. Pints are €5.50. They have bottles of Heineken 00 (€4.50), Coors Light, plus the common shorts like vodka, Jim Beam, etc.. Blackwater gin also.

    From pics/vids I've seen of Bingo Loco it's very like the darts

    I wonder will we see a darts event at future Big Top events?

    He enjoys going to supporting the blues and trolling the Waterford gaa page on boards telling us all how the most negative manager we ever had Derek McGrath is so great.
