GGI accounts.​

These may be of interest to people interested in doing something similar, also to everyone who was there or contributed in anyway. As we said at the start we wanted the event to be DIY and non profit and we think the festival ran on that basis.





All figures are as accurate as possible, obviously we are punks not chartered accountants so some small errors may be present.

Outgoings on festival including preperation work.​

Marquee 400

Portaloos 300

Main Generator 75

P.A. systems x 2,
Mikes, monitors , guitar amp 450 including 100 euro for damage.

Donations(cash, auction, badges, cds etc) 1280

Total 9180



Loss of festival 1,152



In addition we have approximately 500 euro of assorted food items, toilet roll etc remaining, the use of the tools and water in field etc for the future and always intended on putting in some money ourselves as we wanted to give something back ourselves to the punk scene.

Therefore we do not want fundraisers organised for the loss.​

In addition there were tens of thousands of pounds worth of work done voluntarily by all involved, by ourselves, by the people who came down to the work weekends, by the people who did stuff at the festival, people who lent us equipment, the second marquee, the second generator, people who gave lifts, collected and returned the pa etc. etc etc etc etc etc………………………thanks for this.

[mc moley]

.|..| I have a new found respect for you, thats deadly!.|..|

 

[bohs punks]

yea thats a strange one, the gate has been taken
either soemone took it as a prank or soemone took it opportunistically, either way we need a new gate. ridiculous but true, would need a van at least to take.

oh well

 

[nooleen]

who the fuck stole a gate, and how the shite did they transport it to either a gate dealer or some site where a gate was badly needed enough to go to the trouble of stealing one from there? that's fucking bizarre....i bet it was some belfast fucker off his face, and no doubt it made sense at the time.

 

[Willie Willions]

Those Belfast people, always stealing gates. Theres a huge black-market for them up there.

i remember lifting the gate up, but i'm not sure if, or where, i put it back down.

 

[weebrat]

Enough with the anti-Belfast slags. We don't need gates any more. We're all friends now, we can walk in and out of each other's houses any time we want now. Even if I don't live there any more!

Do you not trust your neighbours then Conor?

[nooleen]

i don't trust my fucking neighbours...then again i've got a cop on one side and a journalist on the other (it is actually true).

 

[spuded]

yeah i live next to a pigger when i was living at home too, his stupid dog killed my rabbit by giving it a heart attack, and he stopped me playing the drums by threatening my parents with loadsa noise violation thingies, he used to drive albert reynolds around, and is an utter prick, hence i never got to record my grunge rock opera......luckily there is a field on the other side.

Yeah you can sell them to the Army so they can build walls of steel out of them.

Yeah, we're taking back the other 26 counties in small easily transportable installments.* We already have most of McGillycuddy Reeks stashed under our collective colonial floorboards, and when was the last time any of you lot actually checked to see if the Burren was all still there?

I would almost believe you were trying to stash the McGillycuddy Reeks under the floorboards in your house.
