Can't say more yet as I don't have any details.
I'm sure some of the ex-staff who post here might know more.

I think you're getting ahead of yourself, there are alot of rumours flying around, and there is not much truth to any of them tbh.

Cuba are running one last gig,Mr.Scruff Feb 12th in the NUI College Bar.

And thats no secret.

kraggy · 14-01-2011 10:00pm

I heard the people who have the Academy in Dublin are doing something with either it or the GPO.

Not sure which and not sure how true that is.

barryd09 · 14-01-2011 10:13pm

Theres a world of difference between the gpo and cuba and i personally would doubt its the gpo.

barry181091 · 14-01-2011 11:25pm

Oh please let it open again

Even though I was refused a couple of times there (Perfectly reasonably thought tbh), they better not drop their bouncing standards to the gpo-style. God then the crowd would be awful !

Are there any other clubs in Galway with 2 rooms/floors that usually have 2 different types of music??

Cuba?

God, I hope not actually. It doesn't sound like the kind of event that would ever be held there really.

barryd09 · 15-01-2011 6:07pm

it could well be the gpo,the drum + the club?

either way it sounds pretty awful.

can they throw in some mooning geordies aswell?

Seaneh · 15-01-2011 6:24pm

its a one off night, not a club. It could be lots of place really. They had one of them in the acadmey recently. Its just a club tour thing. Where ever it is held will somewhere that is currently open.

Haven't been in Coyotes since it opened and was only in there once or twice when it was Boo Radleys but I think it had two different dancing areas. I was wankered in there so don't hold me to that comment

I think you're right about that, but like you I was pretty ossified in there. There may have been a smaller dancefloor upstairs, near where the DJ is and then one downstairs. That could be wrong or different now, haven't been in there since it was Boo's

Head The Wall · 15-01-2011 11:16pm

Thats still way more details than I can remember about it. I'm guessing that you would have to be in a worse state entering coyotes. Although I'm sure they have their market, I'm just not part of it

When anyone have a link to a news source you can post about it, until then it's just a rumour.

You think there is going to be a news source about someone taking over a nightclub?

What i posted i know as fact as i used to work in cuba and the cellar.

biko · 17-01-2011 2:24am

Sure, why wouldn't there be news if someone took over a night club that has closed.
No offence but I don't know you and without a link to a source it could be true, or not.

bill murray · 17-01-2011 2:27am

I posted a lot after Cuba/cellar closed down and people knew it was right.

You believe it would be in an actual paper who was the new gm of a nightclub?

Its common knowledge on stuff like facebook. So people can't chat about stuff on here without having proof of it first anymore is that what your saying?Who exactly would it offend?

Seaneh · 17-01-2011 2:54am

sure we can just wait until the two lads confirm it bill. or maybe hannon will be on to confirm it at some stage. But you're right, its pretty much common knowledge what's happening and who is involved at this stage. I'm delighted for tee lads involved.

bill murray · 17-01-2011 2:56am

Yeha i hear ya and i suppose it could hit complications or whatever.I just don't understand why people can't talk or gossip about it. No names of people have been mentioned its a bit ridiculous to me.

Hannon is gone to New Zealand now sure so he couldn't care less.I wonder who you are really

Caliden · 17-01-2011 3:56pm

Word on the street is that the old gm of cuba will be taking over gpo & drum.
Keeping most of the same staff and making it a bit 'classier' than the old cuba and a hell of a lot classier than the old gpo. Drum will have the live acts 903 used to have.
