Yup, +1. I got there at 7:00 last week and within 15 minutes the place was full, even though the band weren't playing until after 8:00. Worth it though.

I arrived late one evening and it wasnt even worth it as the band were playing down the front and there was no breathing space at all in there, so left and went up to JJ Bowles for a pint instead!

I hear ya! Six months ago people were complaining about the lack of metal in the city, so your comment is definitely a positive one, as far as I'm concerned, haha!

There's a lot of different music around the city, I'm going to try and keep this thread updated with all the music events, of all genres.
@Insect Overlord, if I PM you some links to venues and promotors, can these be added to the first post? Cheers.

Yeah, fire away. I'll just have a look through them to make sure they're all relevant to Limerick first.

Limerick FC are playing the Liverpool youth team tonight at Jackman Park. Tickets can be got at the Limerick FC store in Arthurs Quay.

Nice chance for Liverpool FC supporters to get to see some of the promising players in the 16-19 yo bracket and a trip to Jackman Park might convince a few folk to start doing so more often.

Not in Limerick, but the two White Tailed sea eagles on Lough Derg are worth the trip to try and spot. Majestic birds who are the first pair to nest in the area for 100 years.

Would strike me as being ideal subjects for shutter bugs and nature buffs alike as they can be seen quite easily from Mountshannon when they on their little island and also from the Tipp side of the lake when they are in flight.

With wingspans of around 6.5 to 7.5 feet they are hard to miss
