The Whole Shabang

tom thum

so The Whole Shabang are back together after ten years , for a few gigs. They are playing at the tall ships festival too which should be brilliant. Im really looking forward to seeeing them. Anyone have any fond memories of The Whole Shabang? I grew up listening to them practice. I thought they were the bees knees. Used to listen to them practice in the piltown community centre. Twas like my own private concert. it used to be deadly!

How sure are we of this? was talking to the ould lad an hour ago about it and it was the first he's heard of it , Reckons Gay Brazzill is pretty busy at the moment and thinks it is unlikely..........

Fact. sorry , i should have pointed that out. While they are all busy in their bands i.e

Tommy - jukebox
Dominic- bottle brothers
Gay- The dreamers
Mick- the kaye twins
Feargal- not sure


they are reuniting for the festival in new york and the tall ships festival in waterford. It would be nice to see them play a gig every 2 months or so when they come back just to keep the band ticking over if nothing else.

Tommy gave me these (I used to have the album on cassette). No problems with sharing these mods!
