Its just a bit **** because people didn't know where the acts where playing, so it was hit or miss if you really wanted to see a band.

Yeah its a success for Diageo just not so much for some bands fans :pac:

yeah, if you want to see one of the bands it's a bit crap, but really they're just there as an extra to drum up publicity, so can't see Diageo being too bothered really...

Anybody estimate how many people were in Old Oak last night for gig?

So if some of this was recorded, I certainly dont see anything in the tv listings showing any of the Arthur Day gigs, what actual tv channel is showing this footage, checked yesterdays listings and todays, nothing about Arthurs Day gigs on RTE, TG4 or TV3.

Its usually on the pub channel on sky. could have been on live last night but was out myself so didnt see any of it. id say itll pop us as specials on RTE over the next month or so. similar to the way MTV used to cover poxegen.

I saw Alabama 3 in O Connells, Galway.

Last time I saw them in Galway the lead singers stormed off after the gig and I heard him say, "This is the last f*cking time I'm playing with you c*nts."

He obviously got over it.

Anyone know where I can find a list of who played where?

Stay local

It would be hard to defend the organization of this years Arthurs Day as been anything other than a disaster!

To tell people for months that the concerts would be a first come first served events, and then pull out a wrist band system the last minute was a joke, and people are right to be pissed off!

Maybe this was advertised more than I seen, But I was keeping an eye out for news on the line up and who would be playing where, and the first thing I heard about Wrist Bands was that they were all giving out for most venues!


I turned up at The Grand Social shortly after 5, and even then was told there would be zero chance of getting in! As all the Wrist Bands had been giving out and the Guest List was full! My disapointment was somewhat slightly eased by a free Boon Central pint.


I was lucky enough to hear that Primal Scream were playing in the Silver Granite of all places!!! Sure enough I went down and was blown away by their proformance, absolutely incredible!!! Don't think my ears have returned to normal yet! V V V Loud! A really great band that I'll be looking out for when they next come to Dublin.


Overall the day would have been a total disaster of trying to find a place to go if not for hearing about Primal Scream's Silver granite gig,


If this is what to expect from Arthurs Day leave me out!

Scream Team played the Silver Granite?!

.. well I'll say this whatever the acts least they had the humility to do these, random pup appearances as they're bigger than that. No idea what they were paid but they showed a folk spirit not unique to mumford
