    I saw then at Green Man and they were fantastic. Apart from a minor tantrum with the sound guys half way through they sounded amazing. Reading their book at the moment, just nice to still have bands doing their thing that connects the music of my youth with my current musical landscape.

    A wild crew. Seen them at 2 EPs and are a thoroughly enjoyable live act

    How come there's no gigs by Glen Hansard/The Frames/The Swell Season in the lead up to Christmas. I thought a Glen Christmas gig was as certain as night follows day. Looks like I'll have to settle for Damo Dempsey instead.

    I'll enjoy spending time with the family and not working but no gigs until Jesus Lizard mid Jan. Having serious withdrawal.

    I'm delighted with the break! No driving to Dublin, parking, petrol plus the expense of a ticket itself for a few weeks? Grand.

    How far do you travel DW?

    I'm just in Maynooth so it's handy enough in and out on the bus, but I do miss living in Dublin when it's time to go home!

    Ah fair enough. I'm in Rathmines so most Dublin gigs are a walk. I agree, it's good for the bank balance alright.

    ASIWYFA were just fantastic on Friday night. Crowd were well up for it too. Amazing way to end the gigs for this year.

    Had a great time at kneecap in Belfast. Was a bit worried it would be rough but was great fun. Plenty of jumping round done

    Just a small crowd turned out for a doom metal session in Fibbers last night. 3 bands for €10.

    Arrived a bit late so Dead Memories were already on. The mosh pit was mad with all 5 people in the audience giving as good as they got. Once they left, the mosh never got going again. Piano Black were different, not for moshing to anyway.
    The headliners, Superstatic, were good but again, no sign of a mosh. The small crowd would not have helped.

    These Charming Men at Whelan's tonight. Started off with Sheila take a bow and went from there. Brilliant night, deliriously happy crowd singing every word, just a lovely atmosphere all round. New Mozza is great, deadly way to wind down a fantastic year of music. I'll raise a pint to the prospect of an even better year of gigs to come. All the best to you and yours, Boardsie gig goers. Hope to meet a few more of ye over the next 12 months. Keep those reviews and recommendations coming.

    The End of Year Ball at The Workmans was packed. I stayed at the dj/rapp stage throughout. Great sets from Rhoshi and Lowkick with Curtisy putting in a man excellent guest appearance before he came on in his own slot. Second time I’ve seen him.

    The guy lives, sleeps, breathes and smokes rhyming couplets and lyrics. He’s a class act.

    Left after Curtisy finished at 12:30 but all the young ones were still rearing to go. Wonder who came on afterwards? Four hours of quality live music for €17.

    Can’t see anything on tonight.

    Were you giving it socks in front of the sound desk?

    Did you head to this, Wooderson?

    Apologies if you've already reported on it, couldn't see it. How was it? It was the one gig I was really gutted to miss this year

    Really enjoyed The Scratch in Bank Lane Waterford on Sunday Night. The lads were on fire and the crowd was red hot. Pity 'Another Round' wasn't played (as Jordon is gone) but loved 'Cig In the breeze' and 'Old Dog'. They all seem so down to earth and we're mingling with the crowd after the show. A great end to gigs for 2024
