    Did you see a poster or something for this somewhere? I've done a google and found nothing! ta :)

    I found a very rough and ready flyer for it in the model at the film night on Friday. The band doesn't seem to be very good at promotion which is a shame because they really are amazing.

    *If you go to the entrance area of the model it's there with all the various flyers.

    The evening of the 21st February, we'll be having an event that, as far as we know, is the first of its kind in Sligo. All are welcome to come along, get on stage, and perform, as long as it's all acoustic (or just come to watch!). There will be no microphones or PA, at all! Entry is a mere €4 and all proceeds will go towards the Open Trades Club, a non-profit organisation supporting music and the arts in Sligo. So come along!

    My annual bid to try and entice Sligoians to see some live musical theatre.

    This one promises not to disappoint. Tickets are selling fast and it's only on until Saturday (I'm a bit of a johnny-come-lately posting this so apologies).

    Where does the Italian society meet? I was asking about Italian classes before and there seemed to be none except the one in the Mercy, and I don't want to go to that one as I've heard the teacher isn't great.

    Not sure I know much about the Italian society, I'm with the other crowd. They do have a FB page, search for Amicizia. Or else just come along tomorrow night, there will be plenty of them in the Yeats building at 8pm.

    What is 5th on Teeling like for gigs anyone? Is it just the old Zanadoos/Equinox/Envy/Pure renamed? I wouldn't mind seeing some of the acts there but not if it gets a really young or rough crowd. (I am not old enough to remember Zanadoos by the way but I am old enough to remember being served sausage and chips in it)

    I've been there a couple of times for gigs. Layout is a bit odd, asked for a whiskey sour and the bartender started making a combo of a sex on the beach with whiskey in ... So can't say much for the drinks, but its grand, fairly roomy. It's connected to Pure, you use the same bathrooms as the night club.

    It's the same layout of the 'Front Lounge' that used to be connected to Envy. But the décor is much nicer, and the place has a much nicer feel to it than Pure etc. It's like it's own separate venue now, any time I was there I didn't notice the nightclub at all.

    Was there on Sat night and I would agree with you Truley. I liked it there but it is hard to keep from thinking that Envy is just beside you and I was expecting a load of teenagers to pile through the door all night. Would like it better if there had been a few more people there though.

    So it's Yeats Day on Thursday (13/06/13). Anyone joining in the festivities? Only for it's on a workday I might have wandered into the City Core for a look.

    Plus there'll be sausages.

    Sounds lovely - but based on what's going on outside the window now, I wouldn't hold my breath unfortunately. What a great venue for a concert :)

    It's fairly well sheltered where they set up Scarlet and sometimes they do put up an awning of some sort. Warm coat, brolly and snifter of rum and you'll be grand :)
