So much for learning from and building on what the UK have done. That would have given us some hope.
Instead we are using pods, masks and not actually testing.
Unfortunately it seems we are quickly running out of road.

We can't even arrange to have enough bins or toilets available so people can go outside this weekend.

Anthony Hoolohan said we can't expect facilities such as more bins & toilets "overnight" - brilliant trolling.

Think i can forget about going to the 3Arena for the rest of the year, no way in hell they will allow such type of events. Ill be flying over to the UK arenas as the Dublin shows will just be cancelled if Arenas in other places can go ahead at full capacity

Capacity is 280 and the gig is supposedly for 50 people.

Impressive that a place that small has hosted the likes of Mercury Rev, Sinéad O'Connor, The Fontaines & The Undertones in the last three years. More of that for the next few years please.

It ain't the UK, be thankful for that. Twice the death rate of Ireland and three times when the truer figure (excess deaths) are collated. Having problems with variants, making a balls of re-opening and consistently gambling with people's lives. Oh, and yeah, about to economically collapse due to Brexit.

Many errors have been made here. Xmas was idiotic. But our politicians are streets ahead of our neighbour's lot. Be careful for what you wish for.

At least we had a meaningful Christmas.

*waves from Antrim*

100% this. That horrormirth combination of Westminster intransigence and Stormont ineptitude, a perfect storm of f**kery. The 6 counties have got off pretty lightly, despite the best efforts (or the lack thereof) of those nominally in charge. It's scant comfort to those that have lost loved ones, and I unfortunately include a good friend of mine in the grim stats that are bandied about as a success story.

I'm sorry to hear that man. Condolences to you and your pal's family.

Interesting. Pods of 4 and no testing prior

Whats more amazing is the assumption that those people who like james vincent mcmorrow have up to 3 friends each who also like him!

Just watched 'The live revival' on Sky Arts, interviews with the people who run lots of British grassroots venues and lots of musicians, a few performances. Great idea. They should do an Irish one. Reminds you how important these places were and will be again. Build the excitement, meet the people that run these places, let the musicians tell us how vital the little gigs are and why we should be buying tickets again.

Why? If we have over 80% of the population then there will be no reason for them to not allow gigs return

Sean Keane doing a gig in the Town Hall on the 12th. Assuming all of these go well and the rollout continues on its course then Autumn and Winter gigs shouldn't be an issue.

Timing off for EP? Another 4-6 weeks and it's likely there'd be no issue. Yet no cancellation by ATN, surely not happening even with a much smaller capacity?

Saw some of that and thought an Irish version would be great.

Off to Inis Mór tomorrow so creamy hotel pints for a couple of days, and some outdoor ones at Joe Watty's. I know this is way off topic but alongside live music the thing I've missed most is draught Guinness. One thread blessing is that I may be too ill to post for the remainder of the week.

I was down there last week and drove around the whole estate. All of the gates were closed.
on the Sunday we did another drive around and went up to the windy-gap (top of a hill) and met somebody that told us the gates were just closed over, you can still go in..
Hadn't realised that, and never made it in.

I will be down in Vicarstown on the 19th of June, hoping to run across and go for a walkabout

That's funny, I took the kids to the Rock of Dunamase yesterday, we headed into Stradbally for a 99. Had a stroll up the Main Street.

Getting first Pfizer Friday.

4 weeks after that for 2nd jab (11.07.21).

3 or so weeks after that for full effect.

4 weeks to spare before E.P.!

I thought Pfizer was effective one week after the second dose? You might have even more weeks to spare.

What's the big ones in Belgium, there's Tomorrowland, that big psytrance one at the same venue where they use recycled metals for the stages and Pukkelpop, they're fairly big capacity events I think.

66000 for Pukkelpop. Anyone ever been?

Yea was there in 2010 and 2016, really good festival imo with plenty of music to choose from. Easy enough to get around the site too, most indoor stages were marquees instead of tents, they also had a great dance area (even though Im not a massive fan) and the weather was also great. You pay for everything via tokens which you can prebuy or buy on site, I was lucky on the last day some random guy just gave me like €20 worth of tokens for nothing which was deadly ha

Nothing to do with this thread…but got tickets to primavera today! I felt I couldn’t keep it from you all.

The live stream for the James Vincent Mcmorrow gig is free on YouTube for anyone who's interested.

10-06-2021 7:07pm

Watching it now! The crowd basically look like Sunday morning at dublin gospel choir! Everyone in their little groups!

dmm82 · 10-06-2021 7:09pm

Watching it too. Looks mad but definitely getting little butterflies. The return of normality!

10-06-2021 8:25pm

It could be the fact I love James Vincent mcmorrow along with the few glasses of wine I’ve had but this is very emosh

I am going to be an absolute wreck at the first gig im back at

Remember him doing that cover in electric arena in 2014 it was a majical moment in a stunning gig. Booka brass joined him for a few songs. Defo one of my top memories from EP

I enjoyed his first two albums but not listened since. Liked what I heard tonight and I'd happily stroll along to any set of his at EP 2021. Sorcha Richardson too.

I just heard that the Haunt is going to be at Wild Roots festival, I need to start haranguing for a volunteer wristband.

Stillill42 · 11-06-2021 2:09pm

Once you start thinking about it, live music I mean, it's hard to stop. Got myself a couple of Big Thief tickets this morning. Gigs stretching out as far as the eye can see, Snapped Ankles, David Keenan, Dry Cleaning, Sports Team, Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever, the Frames, Pixies, Fontaines.......the future feels brighter. Let's just get the Picnic up and running, tie the whole thing together.
