    I am. Some of my friends from home are coming up too.

    €15 a ticket! Daylight Robbery!

    I was also advised that if I wanted to truly enjoy it, be very, very drunk.

    Typical college night out then. Especially if the lodge is involved.

    Think I'll pay a visit down for a bit.

    It's handy knowing the PA supplier for all the UL gigs, Can go down and hang around with him for abit.

    I get to see what kinda penance he has to do for his sins, I reckon this is a new level...VengaBoys Uggh

    So what did ye think? Besides the whole two hour delay, which happens I guess, I thought it was fun, if a little short. They were only on stage for barely an hour, if that.

    The lip-synching was kinda funny. I don't believe they actually sang any song themselves. Has the fourth member left the band?! Plus, I'm pretty sure one or even two of the two guys weren't the original members of the band. It definitely wasn't worth €15, but I had a little fun all the same.

    i thought it was really good, haven't seen an atmosphere like that in the stables since i've come to college it was brilliant.. they should have acts like that every couple of weeks..
    yea the two lads are new, they're not the originals,

    Yeah, The whole 2hr delay kinda sucked, i can remember standing with the sound guys at 9ish and there was no sign of them anywhere, Oh and playing for 35mins was kinda short but i have to admit it was fun while it lasted...

    As for putting on gigs every week or two - that'd cost a load to do, it's actually quite pricy to organise a decent gig*

    *have learnt this working for the ISDA Festival which ul is hosting in april

    She did a lot of backing vocals for Damien Rice, The Blowers Daughter and my own fav Unplayed Piano are two that stick in my mind.
