    Maybe another 5-10 minutes, depending on what part.

    Yep - just belted them out! It looked like they enjoyed the gig too and there was a great crowd at it.

    Cork has loads of good pubs, The Oval, The Electric, The Woodford, Sin E, Bodega etc. All of them very different. You may need to be more specific, otherwise, just wander into town and you'll find plenty of good pubs. Oliver Plunket Street has a good few pubs along if for you choose from. Grand Parade and Washington St are two other areas full of good pubs.

    I'm a bit out of touch with the 'late night' scene but Crane Lane is always a good choice and is better than whatever flavour of the month generic nightclub is going. Voodoo currently holds that crown as the club to be in these days... unless it's moved on again :o

    No idea of the perils of heels in gravel/concrete but it's a long walk back to town to be in heels I imagine. And good luck getting a taxi in the crowds.

    Not sure about buses. I usually taxi in and walk back, if feeling lazy, try and flag a taxi on the way when the crowds thin out. It's not a bad walk really, but high heels I'd say wouldn't be ideal. There are some bars that side of town you could use as a half way point in to town to stop for a drink :)

    Has anyone got their National tickets for next Monday?

    The Elbow ones arrived back in January but I never got the National ones. When I go the ticketmaster site it says they are "being processed" and to not contact them earlier than 3 days before the event if I haven't got my tickets.

    Kinda, I contacted Ticketmaster. They posted em, I never received em. Must have got lost in post. I'm collecting at the box office booth this evening instead :)

    I don't know any detail of the support acts or running schedule actually. I'll be aiming to get in around 8pm. Should be grand.

    Friends of mine were in a similar situation for the Elbow gig. They had no hassle with getting their tickets at the box office as they went in.

    Awesome gig! Matt is a legend going through the crowds like that :) They really got the crowd going for the big ones. Best bits for me though were the slower songs (Ada, Slow Show, Exile, Hard to Find, Vanderlyle, Demons). The Geese of Beverly Road was the stand out song on the night for me. Matt voice is incredible and they are mesmerising to see live. The light show was impressive too.

    The only blip on the night was Pink Rabbits, don't know what happened but Matt's voice was all over the place for it, it actually sounded bad. That song was the highlight last year, this year... :confused:

    Ya was a great show, they seemed to have a bit more energy last year though.

    I was sitting in the C stand and Matt wandered over. Got to help him up the steps and carry the microphone cable for him :) He just stood at the top of the steps, dropped the mic and headed back to the stage! Seemed well out of it.
