[mackle]

best parties and dances:
post gig disco with torche, mackle and aonghus,

Good times that! Probably the most fun I had all year

 

[Gavin]

worst performance: przeciw. generic no imagination punk with no defining feature whatsoever. (sorry dan)
WTF??? THEY WERE BRILLIANT IN BOHS!!!!!! GREAT GREAT SHOW

Maybe you didn't know their stuff? I knew 1/2 their stuff from listening to stuff I d/l from their webby or maybe you just don't like Punk and like most people lately just moving to other music tastes.

i saw them in galway after only fumes and i thought they were pretty weak in comparison. they didin't have their own sound at all they were just goin by the punk blueprint. same riffs,beats, vocals etc.. you probably like punk more than me tho

[Gambra]

Dickhead live touring band- Haram, sort it out lads when people are being nice to you
​

I'm not sure what exactly happened in Belfast but it was the same in Limerick. It was the "hanger on"/merch guy who acted like a complete prick and put one of us in a position he was too nice to back out of. Stung us for quite a bit of money.

Yeh that was the same guy I really hated. Went to a party with them after and he was being totalyl weird and stuff. I then had to walk them back to the house they were staying in that I was also staying in and him and one of the actual Haram guys kept sorta whispering to eachother, looking at me then laughing. Was totally shit seeing as I decided to leave the party only cause they wanted to go and I was being nice walking them back.

Best non punk gig: Melvins
Best punk gig: leechrum especially Freebooters
Best new band: Terrordactyl/Mongolia
Best party: Seomra spraoi Christmas party/ Dee's birthday in Leitrim, the next day on the train w/ barry and Ferg, Karen and Houli's gaff and the fact I managed to get to work the next day without a hangover.

Thanks to anyone who put on a gig this year and the people involved in this:

 

[Corm]

Best live band of the year: Pisschrist or Bomberegn on numerous occasions.

Best record: Annihilation Time II

Best thing about Ireland: Lots of foreign people, immigrants, Dublin far more tolerant and diverse, lots of new bands playing all sorts of different music.

Worth thing about Ireland: refamiliarising myself with the same old shit with venues, expensive alcohol, lack of punk bands playing punk and punks looking punk. And shitty hash.

Maddest place: Barcelona.

Unexpected buzz award: feeling inspired by people in Copenhagen fighting to keep Ungdomhuset alive & swathes of cynicism being swept aside in days.

Worst buzz award: people being way too fucked on drugs and fucking smackheads.

They actually got it together award: Eoin & Donal (and others') practise space finally being operational.

sniff sniff, I'd just like to dedicate this award to Eoin, um, for getting totally fucked up before the gig, um, and to my family, sniff sniff, and everyone that's always been there for me, oh and my manager Stanto, and finally to all you people out there that want to form a band but don't know how, JUST DO IT!

 

[Space]

I reckon the Donal's performance at the Pack gig in Kilcoole should get an honoury mention for the worst performance of the year, even though I enjoyed once he got the riffs right.

Edit: Actually that should be in the comedy performance of the year category.
