What Band/Group/Comedian/Person Would You Like To See In UL This Year?

cson

Simples; as the title says what ents would you like to see?

In terms of Bands; I'd love to see Corona's and Two Door Cinema Club playing.

Comedians; David O'Doherty. Saw him with Flight of the Conchords and thought he was hilarious.

Person; I'd love to see Morgan Kelly from UCD guest speak. The guy knows a lot about the state we're in and how to get us out of it.

Tiny Tempah,The Corona's,Neil Delamere,Tommy Tiernan,Andrew Maxwell,Rubberbandits,Pendulum...thats all off the top off my head Tiny Tempah would be class if we could get someone like him for rag week but it wont happen !!

ill be starting in september too

id like to see two door cinema club or tinie tempah!:D

entropic

+1 for David O'Doherty, he is brilliant. Went to see him in dolans earlier in the year and it was class. The guy who supported Neil Delamere last year was very funny, he would be good a the headline tho probably wouldnt sell out. Colm Murphy is probably not going to come back after last years fiasco but I'd love to see him again. Ed Byrne too.

Mumford and Sons would be good as would Heirs to Nothing.
Id really really love to see Newton Faulkner here (AND I WILL )

There was a mix up in the advertising of the gig and the Jean Monnet(or whichever one is under the ski slopes) wasn't even half full which he was aggrieved at since he drove down from Dublin


Dylan Moran would be epic

Unrealistically: Dara O Brian

This only really works with 3rd years or 4th years. The Blizzards played in UL about 35 times in the last 4/5 years, to a smaller and less interested crowd with each visit

Dara O'Briain isn't unrealistic, but expecting students to pay the ticket price is and that's the only thing hampering a gig like that.

Seloth

When would these actually be on?

Jako8

65daysofstatic, Adebisi Shank, And So I Watch You From Afar or Fred. Trying to keep it somewhat realisitic.

You would expect any UL student to have the brains to know I was messing there.

Keep nit-picking away there like a good lad, i'm sure it makes you happy

Thank fcuk we won't be having The Blizzards again, glad to see the back of their completely average music.

Anything decent imo would either be too big or would not draw a crowd, especially the UL crowd. As a whole we seem to delight in the banal.

Mike Slott, Hudson Mohawke, Flying Lotus, Rustie, Benga, some other electronica & dubstep heads are what I'd love to see. Something different. Massive Attack would be absolutely impossible but unbelievable :cool:

So i got a warning for the top post. Did he get a warning for nit picking at my post which was obviously messing? Does that count as a breach of the peace?

You know, sometimes your friends and the experienced posters can be as guilty as the newcomers. You would think, Sceptre, that as a mod that you would want to keep the newcomers on the site rather than driving them away

I'd pay for Dara O' Briain. He's a genius!

With you on the first two bud, not heard much of the lattter two. Seen Adebisi Shank a while ago, great band in a small venue.

You got a warning? Ah lads... There's modding and then there's being rather precious about nonentities... Chillax :pac:

johnjoesim

Bell x1 would be great and maybe possible??

The funny thing is that it's not even that warning that i'm annoyed about. He gave me a warning for a post 10 times more harmless in the accommodation thread at the weekend

cson

Come on lads keep it on topic; if you've issues discuss it with the mod.

If we're talking about dream bands then Flight of the Conchords without a doubt. Wouldn't mind seeing Delorentos again; thought they were really good the time they played.
