[Bag'o'cans]

i looked at the website last week at i'm pretty sure i saw mogwai listed. i can't see it now. is my mind playing tricks or wha?

They're a Dublin band, not the scottish one, with a name that caused some, mmm, lets say "complications". Had to be removed from the site and posters.

is there buses in that direction?
cant drive meself. i only have a dog licence.

There's a private bus service that runs between Galway and Drumshambo, the nearest town, its a student type service, got it a few times. I'll find out the name from some friends in Galway, get back to you on Monday.

wasn't it just a teeny bit dumb assed of them to call themselves mogwai in the first place? maybe they should change their name. to something that doesn't already exist

it probably helps bring in the mogwai crowd

 

[plug]

in that case they might as well break out that old chestnut and call the band "free beer tonight" etc. etc.

so you probably gonna go to this?

I actually had a possie rounded up for the gig on the basis of mogwai until i saw this thread the other day...

I'm assistant secretary to the junior vice president of Leechrumcorp©, if i play my cards right someday i'll get to carry the records. I'm not actually organising any of the music, friends are doing that, just had to do the website (it was done in a rush), update website, do some posters etc, little bits, keep thumptania informed.
Dunno about tickets selling out, going fast, it would be appreciated if people bought tickets beforehand i'd say.

BTW If anyone is lookin to make a full wekend out of it there should be some serious Irish trad in Riverstown, Co Sligo on the Friday night and it's free too.

Ya, about 25 mins walk from the town (or 1 hour if carrying slab of beer drunk under scorching sun, ah the memories), i believe taxis may have arrived in leitrim aswell. Its at a new site though this year, haven't been at it myself yet, think its over the hill the from lastyear, or inside the hill , dunno, eh in the vicinity of the usual spot.

So will there be brass and all skanky ska? I think i'm going to this. Carn't wait, i've never been in Leitrum before. Ooooooooh i'm so excited. So if you see a big stumbling mess of a specky chap with whiskey and vodka go leor, 'tis probably me, so say "hello".

There'll be a peppering of brass, but if you're on the whiskey and vodka you can just wear your earphones and pretend.
I'll be the skinny mess of a guy on his back in the stream threatening to burn people.
So whose going?

 

[Antrophe]

How do we get to this from dublin?

there's roads that leave dublin. seriously.

 

[nlgbbbblth]

How do we get to this from dublin?

the Dublin-Sligo train stops in Carrick-on-Shannon and Dromod, both in Co Leitrim

 

[Antrophe]

For a minute there I thought that was hunmour to rival Brenden Grace, but then it dawned - there are roads out of Dublin! Seriously? Wow shit, I would have never thought. Now do you know if there are any buses that use these roads to get people to or near this festival? Cos you see I looked on the net and couldn't find any which led me to think that Dublin was an isolated land mass dependent upon trains. So when someone with a greater grasp of geography than me mentioned a stop near the festival I found this out:

There's trains leaving Dublin Connolly to Sligo Dromod on Saturday at 0830, 1335, 1705, 1815.

Theys seem to take about two hours each. Any ideas on what time the festival be kicking off at on Saturday?

 

[nlgbbbblth]

Carrick-on-Shannon is about 8 miles from Drumshanbo (the nearest town to the festival)
