Johnny Marr Athy ballroom 25th June

Frumy

Nice to see a big artist in a tiny venue in a more quaint part of Ireland. Anyone else going?

Sold out but 1 or 2 resale tickets still floating about.

Johnny has really come into his own with his band. I dare say I'd take his current band over Morrisseys now but ironically Alain Whytes small little touring band is the best of them all for old Smiths/Moz music. Shame Moz won't get back with them but anyways!

Yea going…honestly not really over familiar with his stuff but unique opportunity to see a generational talent. His gigs in recent years have gotten great reviews

Stillill42

Yep, really looking forward to it. God knows what to expect but it could be something special. Johnny never disappoints and this gig has that little bit extra to it. Hopefully a night to remember.

I don't know the venue. It's pretty much in the town by the looks of it? Anyone recommend a decent spot nearby for a quick pre gig pint?

The Auld Shebeen is your best bet that end of Athy. Great little boozer.

Hopefully a mad little sweaty gig with a exuberant crowd. I've seen a few artists in tiny venues, it's usually good fun

I have two tickets for Limerick on Monday night, would prefer to swap them for two in Athy if anyone interested?

Ask on the Athy town facebook page. Few there with tickets that may not be going and looking to sell or swap

Stillill42

Anyone any idea of the capacity lads?

TheDocMan

Think i remember 500 tickets sold but not 100% on that

Beagslife

Caught him at Sea Sessions last night. A great set (albeit limited to 1 hour) with a good smattering of Smiths numbers. Athy crowd (and Limerick) will be in for a real treat 🎸

Anyone know stage time for Athy and if any support playing?

Cheers.

Was coming here to ask the same!

Doors open at 7.30 is all is on MCDs website.

Newdad are support in Limerick tonight.

I just saw this on Facebook. Looks like 1000

I'll have to get down to Athy from a job in town which might be a bit tricky for me…

the tickets say Doors 7:30 but does anyone know if there's a support act and when Johnny supposed to be on stage?

boomdocker

Looking for 2 tickets if anyone has 2 to spare

Things oddly quiet in terms of finding info on if there is a support act.

This is a snip from my physical ticket. There's support alright, or is that special guests.

I see Liam Gallagher and Bonehead on a couple of days break after their gig in Dublin last night 👀

Joking aside, it doesn't matter, it'll be a Johnny Maher homecoming gig! Can't wait…

Stillill42

Absolutely. Really buzzing for this now.

I'm hearing that there is no support. Now maybe Johnny will invite someone on stage with him…I dunno. Anyhow looking forward to it.

Stillill42

It's a Community hall now, right? I presume there's a bar? 7.30 doors with maybe no support, what time do we reckon Johnny will be hitting the stage?

9pm as always for indoor shows

McLoughlin

Mani would be the obvious guest to make an special appearance.

That'd be cool. They could do an up tempo rendition of the theme from Neighbours.

Thundercats Ho

tbh the obvious guest would be Liam Gallagher as he played a gig an hour up the road last night.

I've a feeling we're in for a treat tonight.

You are in for a treat tonight.

And if it's half as good as LG in The Point last night, you are in for an absolute treat.

Enjoy, as a Smiths fan, I was I was there but alas not to be.

Stillill42

Let's not set the bar too high lads. I mean it could be Picture This.

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/122302475#Comment_122302475

Yeah his last couple of shows have been 9pm starts.

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/122302470#Comment_122302470

I would like to think that there might be a bar, but they would need to acquire a license.
