Balls. I'd like to see the Waterboys but wont be around for them.

I know the way, I'm away for a wedding that weekend so I doubt I'll get to any of it. I missed the last one too

Mod Warning

First it was ziedth and now its me. I feel so let down at your attempts of laughing and mocking us, we usually get a lot better

So lets take this as a final warning... Enough of your crap. We know full well what your at and if you have nothing at all useful to contribute when posting on this forum then you might as well leave peacefully unlike your counterpart.

I take it that there'll be no comedy tent at the festival then seeing as the concept of humour is lost on some people. That photoshop could have been a lot worse to be fair!

Hi All ,


We appreciate the feedback good and bad and take it all on board. We have been delayed due to legal complications that we did not forsee when we went with the teaser and i understand the frustrations this has caused. But Im hoping that within the next few days we will have all these legalities sorted and will be ready to announce the event and when tickets will go on sale.

We do hope to build this into a yearly event and give people in Waterford something that has never been done in this City. I appreciate the humour within the thread and I would just ask all Boardies to just bare with us while we sort the Red tape out which has taken alot longer than anticipated.I am fully confident as a promoter and organizer that this event will go ahead as planned on July 30th with a Line up that will be exciting and fun for all genres and we will stride to make this successful year on year. This is something new for Waterford and i am delighted to be involved with the project.Just on the Boards post we did not create this thread and i am responding personally as i am a frequent user of this site . When the gig goes Live i will post and official thread aslo .


Regards

Its nice to have some official word back on this. I think a lot of people were just frustrated by the lack of communication from the organisers.
I hope this will settle the situation down a bit. The very best of luck with ironing out the details.

scico rocks

I know you got a lot of stick from posters, just keep us informed and best of luck!

I think this would be separtae from the above event

I know that! The point being that everything going on in this town lately seems to be all hush-hush.

Mod Note:

Seeing as it's Friday I'm going to do the easy thing and tidy up the thread but a couple of notes:

The next person who derails this thread is getting a one week ban.

If in future you have a comment/question/problem/observation about a mod action (not a regular post) PM them. Doing so on thread causes a trainwreck and I'm happy to chat about anything in PM.

If you don't like how we handle the fourm contact a cMOD they are right there at the bottom of the main fourm page.

Cheers

It's always been the rules on boards, a thread is to discuss the topic at hand never to discuss how the discussion is being handled.
Nothing Dictatory about it.

Mod Note

Just a quick clarification. I wasn't offended and I saw the funny side. Generally I would leave it be and thank the post - it was a joke to most people. However, it wasn't the first time mods have been targeted by the person in question and it becomes gradually worse and more personal. It was purely acted upon to nip it in the bud and make a firm line that if its the start of crusade on me as it did with others on this forum, it wont be let slide on. Its been an issue raised several times to the mods by the regulars on this forum.

I don't think anybody was offended but you have to remember that sometimes there is a bigger background and picture which when a mod reacts and it looks harsh or serious. We do have a sense of humour

Any further concerns or questions send me a PM.

Mods are the closest things to robots you'll find here.

I bet they're all being given free tickets to this! Probably secretly love 50 pence and justin baby as well!! RABBLE RABBLE! :mad:

Banned tbh.

Isn't it obvious anyway, Kelly? Bieber in Dublin during your "negotiation" stage. I think most people have a fair idea its himself.

Icky Thump

BIG-SLICK-POKER

So, where's the boards discount? :P

There is a recession on son, you better have rem and Lilly Allen on for that price !!

AndyKiely

Sounds good. Think I'll wait and see the line up first though. Wouldn't want to see any of the bogey names thrown around here already like Jedward and 50 Cent.

Any idea of when the line up is going to be announced?

Im worried those acts are not bein ruled out as if it is 50 cent main act no one will pay that much , i hope we will be truly surprised and i will be hoping to get tickets for who ever it is...

Wooden Jesus

As long as theres a half decent line up ill definately support this. Great to see something like this being organised in Waterford.
Fair play for making this happen and hopefully it can grow to something great in the future.

gscully

I reckon some tickets should be allocated, by way of lottery, to anyone who showed interest in this thread. Limit it to those who have commented so far.
