Yeah, and Elvis is supporting them :rolleyes:

OP where did you hear this from? It's not on SD website and not on GAF website. You'd think it would be announced somewhere.

Donegal Lass, ask your friend again and let us know?

The free concert will cost in excess of 30,000 Euro - the Eyre Square Traders in Galway are contributing over 20,000 Euro and The Saw Doctors are contributing over 10,000 Euro to the costs, which include full staging, PA and Lights, Safety Barriers, Security Personnel, and Insurance"

Great gig! Bit of rain towards the end but a grand day altogether

JohnCleary

Savage craic! Especially for free!

'Don'cha wish yer boyfriend was BALD LIKE ME' .... I lol'ed!

Irish Gardener

Great ould day out.
Galway needs more of this.
Any tourist in town yesterday must have been saying "Gee, what a nice place"
It'll be wallets out again next week with the races though.

Donegal Lass

The gig was bloody fantastic- just recovering from it! It was madness, everyone thoroughly enjoyed it!!!

Tar.Aldarion

I arrived in Galway just as tehy started to take everything apart after...

jamesd

Taught it was great too - the city was alive after it

Glenman

Yeah it was a savage gig considering it was free and the crowd were huge.
Great to see all the families there and fair play to the guards for stopping Skeff customers taking the drink outside.
Does anyone have any idea of the crowd in the square for the gig?
Thought they would have played more from the new album The Cure, they played If Only which in my opinion is not the best song.
Hope to see more of the same in Galway over the next few years

Kazooie

Pictures anyone?

They didn't play If Only. They played Me Without You and Your Guitar. As well as a brand new song called She's got It.

Fantastic gig overall though.
It's a great little town we live in!
