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

greenspurs

Madness ??

They haven't played in a while ......

"To me it's disgusting and it's disgraceful and it's not my type of entertainment.

We do not want it here in this country."

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

I musnt be Irish then, conservative Ireland is still alive and well, folks it ll be fine, its just a bit of controversial entertainment, no kids will be harmed

Chuffed with The Happy Monday's. Going to be great, hopefully the week will be well supported.

The throwback event that was to be on the Sunday has been cancelled for some reason and there is no act for the Tuesday night

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

PTH2009

hoping too get to the Happy mondays night

the food court at this sounds interesting with some great options from top class places (Loko, La Boheme, Revs)

Starting next monday 19th with Finbarr Furey

dartboardio

Selling two tickets to Finbar Furey if anyone wants. Bought 4 by accident.

50 euros for the two. Bought for 37.50 each.

Or id happily swap for Keith Barry tickets

Decent reviews about the events the past 2 nights

Bingo loco the next 2 and the big one Saturday with Happy Mondays. Sadly wont make any events this year but hope it goes well and becomes a yearly thing with more big acts headling

Smell the glove

Anyone know what alcohol they are selling down there and how much they are pricing the drinks?

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.

Man, you are some whinger. Every thread on this board has you on here whinging. Is there anything you enjoy?

Looks like it's been a great success.

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.
