Hi all..

Im in a Band based in Waterford.. We have gigged in many counties up and down the country but have never played Galway, recently i was up there for a weekend with some friends and really enjoyed myself, i would like to get in touch with any metal bands that play/ book gigs in any venues up there.. does anyone know what the metal scene is like up there? is there many gigs for Hard Rock and Metal? what hotspots should i be looking out for? and known venues that have a smell of long hair leather and sweat? or who i need to be speaking with to organize a gig?

cheers

Give Daniel from Us vs Them a shout, just search for them on myspace or metalireland. Also try the forum screamformegalway.proboards.com
Daniel is your best bet, he sorts most of the gigs on that genre here.

There's not a lot in Galway unfortunately. As others have said check out Sally Longs. I'd also check out The Cellar.

Daniel from Us Vs Them posts on Boards as dantbyhid so there's no need to disappear off to another forum .
