Gigs for 2024

I agree they are well choreographed but it feels a bit different to your typical Boyband / Girlband smalz. Thanks, you reminded of their ATN set (in the rain?), from memory the Lovely Days stage was wedged for them.

Anyone at Julia Holter?

Deadly, sorry i couldn't make it. Full band?

Great gig by Waterfords own Gilbert O'Sullivan on home turf in the Theatre Royal. Nice to get a double encore with the excellent 'Christmas Song (I'm not dreaming of a White Christmas)

Got as many pics as i could, really wish more venues would consider the 'yondr pouches'

Lovely . I love a bit of Gilbert and must have been special seeing him at home 💙

This is belated but Ham Sandwich were excellent as always last Thursday in Whelan's playing their 1st album Carry The Meek start to finish, check out that album if you never have, really stands up to the test of time in my opinion. And this band always give it everything live and great craic too, picked up their live Olympia album there, looking forward to giving it a spin this weekend

Beak> in a sold out Button Factory tonight were bloody marvellous. 90 minutes or so set made up of the latest album played in full followed by basically all their uptempo Kraut tunes. I think this was my sixth time catching them, going right back to the first album, and arguably the best i've seen. Geoff Barrow is such a wonderful drummer, straight out of the Jaki Liebezeit school, no frills and unecessary fills and rolls, just on point and hypnotic. They're such a joy to watch as they give little nods, winks and smiles to each other constantly through the set. They are also one of the few bands whose banter i actually enjoy. Very funny guys. If this is to be the last time i see Beak>, given that Barrow is leaving, i'm delighted to witness them going out on top form.

Not gig of the year but certainly right up there. That's me done for 2024 and so happy i'm ending it on a high.

how i can rank gigs i am working and providing import export services

Going to try pick up a cheap ticket

Sadly the Annual Christmas gigs back in the early 2000s came too early for my 'gig life' but this will sort of make up for it. It'll never be the same without Shane

Niamh Farrell - Tears For Fears did a hat tip to The Tiny Quarter's cover of Head Over Heals.

How can a band only have written five songs yet sound like they’ve been together forever?
That was the dilemma I listened to last night Upstairs in Whelan’s. Some incredible moments from Dublin band Digdeep, Hats off to them.

The mosh was quite aggressive. A very young crowd. I managed to capture a rare moment - A couple moshing together. It was romantic bliss for the pair of them.

Talking to them afterwards I asked if I could post their mosh on an internet discussion forum. They said yes. But this place is a draconian pile of crap and you can’t post MP4’s. If only there was a better place…..

They were excellent last night. Spider Stacey joining for a few tunes was great

A bit fearful for the pogues gig, very quiet here and only Gate 1 open

Don't think i ever seen that
