    Ah, the Jam Tarts are good......the first few times you hear their set. It's the fact that it's basically been the exact same songs every weekend for years that puts me off them.

    I suppose just because you don't like their set doesn't make them bad musicians.
    The Jam Tarts are excellent musicians in all fairness.
    Everyone knows the good calibre of original bands that Waterford has to offer but what does the ordinary Joe think about the quality of Waterfords cover bands.
    Any thoughts about cover bands in and around the city and county? Best and Worst!

    In the Willows are one to keep an eye on. Their single is doing well on the radio, well worth checking out.

    No doubt they are all good musicians, it's just the repetition that puts me off.
    If I haven't seen them in a good while, I do enjoy them.

    I'm not 100% sure if they're from Waterford but The Great Ocean Divide are a pretty good band.

    I think I've only heard one or two of their songs but their pretty good, very similar to Russian Circles or ASIWYFA.

    Ah no, I wouldnt agree with that either, but I only really want to know what cover bands people like and which ones they dont like.
    If someone did have an opinion about a band they didnt like , it could be viewed as constructive criticism , and therefore , helpful to the bands in question.
