I am so out of touch with the places in town these days :rolleyes: I must get home more often.
Does Louis still do the "DJing" in the Forum???
Newbee glad to see some outsiders come to town and enjoy themselves....tho we don't want an invasion from Cork

Don't think so. AFAIK, both himself and Tommy Boi are gone from Traffik. Having said that, Louis was doing the DJing between acts during the Sunday night of Spraoi.I am so out of touch with the places in town these days :rolleyes: I must get home more often.

Bit overwhelmed by all the pages on this thread :pac: so i'll ask what has probably been asked a billion times already - where would be good on a friday night? (this friday as it happens!) For a group in their mid twenties.
Thanks
Cant blame you for not reading through all that, as riveting as it is But the previous two/three pages should sort you out..You'll get the recommendations that were given and people saying to not believe the recommendations!!!:pac:....oh and the opinion of a cork blow-in thrown in too. 0 -

I probably shouldn't comment cause I know they all read boards (Hi guys)...but yes, I was asked to play just chart music on Friday night.
I firmly believe that Shortts had potential as a Muldoons replacement but the management coudn't understand why Harveys etc were getting more crowds than them. I believe the main reasons were 1. harveys has been in town a lot longer. And 2. when people pass shortts they just see an empty void in there and they needed to put the bar back downstairs.
They're doing that now so hopefully it will see some improvements.
The new PR & Marketing lads will have a tough job with the students with harveys and masons as competition but they have a lot of ideas and if they pull them off...who knows! Admittedly I wasn't very pro-active with my PR & Marketing style for this venue.
"Keep building on the muldoons theme...look after your customers and they'll look after you"...and for the students....."do nothing...they don't deserve your efforts"
you can see why they went elsewhere lol0 -
I'm genuinely gutted if they go down the Harvey's route. The last few times I was in shortts I had a ball. The layout of Shortts is ts biggest problem. Even when it was Ulessyies(i couldn't be added looking up the spelling) you'd never know what you were walking into from the downstairs bar. It could be jammed and ****e upstairs or visa versa.
I thought shortts/crystal had real potential but it's hard to argue that the Lady GaGa listeners of this world pay the bills for clubs.0 -
Will be interesting to see how the student scene pans out this year. I really can't imagine Crystal/Shortt's doing anything with students. They might try, but ultimately students spend **** all. Mason's, Harvey's and now The Foundry have established themselves in the eyes of the students in Waterford and when freshers ask where's a good place to go out, not one person will answer Crystal/Shortt's - simply because nobody knows about it. When you consider the social media presences that the existing nightclubs have built up, it will be a very difficult battle and will probably cost them a lot of money in promotions. Shortt of putting bags over peoples heads as they're going into Mason's and instead dragging them up to Crystal, I don't see how they're going to get people going there!abouttobebanned wrote: »I probably shouldn't comment cause I know they all read boards (Hi guys)...but yes, I was asked to play just chart music on Friday night.
