Best of luck there.

Less of the attitude ok?

If you want people to take you seriously lose the 'impeccable source' crap. Either say how you know or don't.

Travelling up by train in the morning for tomorrow nights gig. Can't wait at this stage. Delighted to see that the band and their gear have made it here safely for tonight. Was pretty worried about it earlier when I saw all the airport closures.

Nothing crap about it. I couldn't identify the source. Just trying to help, especially as people were assuming it was definitely on. No offence like.

About to go over to the Olympia. So bloody excited.

Anyone know if any of their gigs will be broadcast on any of the radio stations?
Can someone post a setlist please?

Just back from tonights gig. Bit of a late start due to the weather but worth the wait.

Got a pair of pit wrist bands as soon as we walked in the door due to so many showing up late due to the weather. I had my arm trampled on when Matt climbed into the crowd and he handed herself his bottle of wine at the end so all good.

Look away now if you're attending Friday or Saturday's gig.

tnx for posting video KJF couldn't fight the temptation of watching that vid!
It's ok though I already knew that was coming

Cannot wait to see them Saturday.

Can some be so good and suggest what time I should be at the olympia if I want to get into the pit?

Thnks

Very good gig, played the vast majority of the new album.
Highlight's are still Able and Leeeeeet - Up!!! though And the ending pretty special.

Would have loved Geese of Bev Road - maybe sat night...

Hoping for Green Gloves for Saturday!

Phosphorescent were the support. They weren't too bad but The National ****ing rocked. They were late coming on as they were diverted to Shannon and had to bus it to Dublin. They said they stepped of the bus and went straight onstage.

How Soon Is Now

Good gig enjoyed most it. First time seen them didnt know to much bout them but they are great live. Listening to there albums kinda didnt know what to think...

Weather was bollox took me bout six hours of buses half a luas journay walking and taxis and i only live in Rathcoole!!.
And to top it off some midget couple infront of me decided to bury them selfs right into me for the whole gig. I was standing right in front of the metal barrier that separates the crowd in front the bars.
Back was bent over it for the whole gig :mad: i was even told could i move back a bit hahaha

:pac: some people think there only ones there.

Overall mate said was best gig ever been to and hes been to alot plus got to meet the bass player out back afterwards mate got pic together with him.
Scott think his name was so good night in the end

Im_No_Superman

Heading up to the gig tonight, cant wait, should be epic!

Sivski

It was really good but I think I missed hearing more of 'Alligator' and we didn't get anything from 'Cherry Tree' or the Sad Songs.

Great gig though, especially considering they literally walked off the bus and onto the stage. They really seemed to enjoy it themselves. The acoustic Vanderlyle was a real treat at the end.

I think tonight and tomorrow night will be even better, I can't wait! Wish I had tickets for Other Voices too

I had thought the Christmas late night Luas would be running too but that's not happening now this weekend.
I'll be haggling with a taxi driver tonight I think.

angusdeaton

It'll be worth it anyway! I'm hanging round for spare tickets for the night I think.... Getting my winter warmers on now. Might bring a glass so I can press an ear to the wall in Brogans...

Are late night luases running after concerts?
