You make it sound like Skerriesfolk had a sekrit 'fake-village factory' & while the rest of Fingal was asleep we nicked the old one, sold it for wads of cash to some super-rich Oirish American & left the 'fake' village in its place coz the Skerries n00bs would be too stupid to notice the switch. *kowloon wrote:Skerries has gone for the fake village for office working commuters route (it used to be a real village).
Skerries still has a village feel to it in that there are no large residential or commercial developments looming over the older buildings down town. The business premises, by & large, are dotted around & not concentrated in a single area & are interspersed with residential buildings.
* We had to pay Lego an absolute fortune for the fake limestone blocks for the Monument, never mind the wads of cash handed over to Airfix for the life-size models of yachts & trawlers down in the harbour.

Well, as has been mentioned already, you're only just barely "Skerries folk"Hill Billy wrote: »
Any time I've picked up Hill Billy Jr I from school I've met mostly local mums & dads, but only the odd childminder. I've also enjoyed having a good ol' natter with them too. I've also never asked someone I don't know "What do you do?" Maybe I'm not as damn nosey as other Skerriesfolk?

Bah! We'll sort them out good & proper with a few good belts of our Snobbery-batons! (Made from mahogany With ivory inlay & polished by peasant-girls from the Bog O'The Ring!)
Back on topic - Why come to Skerries?
If for no other reason than to spend balmy summer evenings drinking pint bottles of Bulmers & watching the sun set over the Blackhills. Ahhh...0 -

I know a couple of those guys to see alright. If nobody's heard of them maybe they should think about getting on to their record company's marketing department. Or maybe arrange a local gig? - upstairs in Joe's is a good spot. They could advertise it in the Parish Bulletin.Okey doke :P

How much does it cost? I have played in Shags, Joes, and Tommys, love the people there, so would be interested in getting more work out that way.
