    Hi all.

    Anyone know if any gigs are planned for Ardgillan Castle?

    Saw Rem there a few years ago and thought it was a great venue.

    Yeah I was at that REM gig too and was well impressed with Ardgillian Castle as a venue- nice site stretching down a slope with huge views of the Irish Sea.

    Pity nothing else has really happened there since- its a fab venue and probably only beaten by Slane for outdoor gigs.

    Incidentally I remember Moby did a cover version of 'My Lovely Horse' at that REM gig :D

    Residents objected so I doubt there will be any more gigs there, unfortunately. I'd say it's an better venue than Slane, too.

    they havent ruled out any further concerts yet... and in saying that i know one family living very close to the venue who were delighted when the concerts were on(well they were kinda bribed with free tickets)
