Waterford City Event Guide

Electric Avenue on the 27th of November (Thursday night). Think ticklets are twenty quid. Loads of local bands playing, in fact just about all the local bands in Waterford as far as I can tell and apparently The Village and The Real, who used to be Shiver back in the day are reforming to play at it as well. Should be good, sorry this isn't in the event section but thought it merited a thread all of it's own.;)

Dan133269 · 12-11-2008 11:27pm

the Village who supported the Smiths when they played in Waterford on 12 November 1984? Amazing

Who exactly is this benefit night for?

Sully · 12-11-2008 11:53pm

Not a major event by any means that deserves its own thread.. Events such as Sproai or whatever which are large family events or large events in general are welcome on their own thread.

Im going to merge it with the events topic.

How do all!! Just a quick message to let you all know that the long awaited return of our APOLLO events will be hitting Ryan’s, Barrack St, Waterford this Saturday. After already having successful nights in Kilkenny, Carlow and Dublin this will be the first time we’ve had an event so close to home!!

As it is our first night back and because we’re just testing the water in the new venue, we’re bringing a selection of our experienced residents to make up the bill on the night!!

Damien Ffrench

Christy O’Brien
In the last couple of years, Christy has played to Australia, Berlin and all over Ireland. The Apollo head-honcho has supported the likes of Torsten Kanzler, Felix Kroecher, Alex Calver, Seb Fontaine and Sven Wittekind in recent times while also receiving much airplay on Beat FM, Feile FM, 2FM and CueLK Internet Radio.

Ger Coady
After ripping up The Zoo in Kilkenny alongside Diarmaid O Meara (Gobsmacked Records) back in November we’re glad to have Ger back for another impressive tech house contribution.
