Saw Doctors playing Eyre Square on 30th?

Glenman

I’ve heard rumours of this, can anyone confirm whether it is definitely going ahead or not

Donegal Lass

as far as i know its still happening. my mates boyfriend is the drummer with noelie, who are supporting the saw docs and as far as i know its still on as im going down with them at 7:30 on sunday morning so that he makes it in time for the gig! if anyone knows any different do tell so that i dont have to get out of bed so early on sunday morning!:D

biko

Yeah, and Elvis is supporting them :rolleyes:

OP where did you hear this from? It's not on SD website and not on GAF website. You'd think it would be announced somewhere.

Donegal Lass, ask your friend again and let us know?

It was actually printed in one or two of the local papers recently.

jabberwock

biko

Great gig! Bit of rain towards the end but a grand day altogether

JohnCleary

Savage craic! Especially for free!

'Don'cha wish yer boyfriend was BALD LIKE ME' .... I lol'ed!

Irish Gardener

Great ould day out.
Galway needs more of this.
Any tourist in town yesterday must have been saying "Gee, what a nice place"
It'll be wallets out again next week with the races though.

Donegal Lass

The gig was bloody fantastic- just recovering from it! It was madness, everyone thoroughly enjoyed it!!!

Tar.Aldarion

I arrived in Galway just as tehy started to take everything apart after...

jamesd

Taught it was great too - the city was alive after it

Glenman

Yeah it was a savage gig considering it was free and the crowd were huge.
Great to see all the families there and fair play to the guards for stopping Skeff customers taking the drink outside.
Does anyone have any idea of the crowd in the square for the gig?
Thought they would have played more from the new album The Cure, they played If Only which in my opinion is not the best song.
Hope to see more of the same in Galway over the next few years

Kazooie

Pictures anyone?

They didn't play If Only. They played Me Without You and Your Guitar. As well as a brand new song called She's got It.

Fantastic gig overall though.
It's a great little town we live in!
