    GNR Slane 16th May 1992 a day that will be forever etched in my brain...it was one of the most amazing days of my life and is the singular most important musical influence on my life to date...


    Biohazard '94 ?? in the SFX was pretty cool too, pity it was such a short set hahahaaa.

    How the **** have Primal Scream and Spiritualized not been mentioned?

    Too many good gigs by each to be mentioned but the first is always the one you remember most.

    At the Drive- In: After ten years of being obsessed with the roots ofpunk music and its preaching, and watching too many bad imitators, I thought 'so THIS is what is was like'

    Radiohead again but this time in Glastonbury. The most spiritual mindblowing gig ever. Half was actually to do with the fantastic atmosphere in glastonbury :)
    They did their thing (which was amazing), it was getting dark and when you look behind you all you could see was a field of flaming tourches. A few flares went off during it illuminating the crowd. And elsware in the festival they decided to have a fireworks display that went off over the stage at the perfict moment in a song... everything just seemed to cometogether for this gig. its one i will never forget.

    And for sheer fun i will always remember the numerous LSD gigs in galway. they had a punk dance to abba, sing to the sex pistols, a great version of creep, muppets, flash gordon, and they had glen hansard hold the lead singers nose while he sung the hi pitched distorted bit to 'video killed the radio star'. :)

    "Who's Eddie" at the Red Cow Inn, a few years back, jaysus it was some gig, 4 of us (just the lads like) got really drunk outside on cans of linden village. Managed to catch the drummers hanky when he threw it into the crowd and talked to the guitarist in the jacks, but he got a bit pissed off with me peering over the cubicle door, it took 4 bouncers to get me out of the place after I got up on stage and tried to shift the lead singer...some laugh boy!!
    Rock n Roll!!!

    Being in the mosh pit at the 1st Slane this year. Was susposed to be in the outer ring but wandered into the inner ring anyway. Great concert and I had sex afterwards! Which was nice.

    Runner up is Elastica at the Tivoli years ago. Small crowd, high atmosphere and much pogoing and crowd surfing.

    Worst gig was probably when Dire Straits last played here. Great music, no atmosphere.

    One Time Angels, Influents, The Thumbs and Green Day at Gilman on September 16th of this year.
    I went with my cousin's thinking I was just going to get to see 3 bands that I love, but ended up seeing my favourite band play the club for the first time in 8 years. Got to chat with each of them for a long time as well, which was nice. They're lovely lads.
