Nah, but I was there at the crossroads when Robert Johnson sold his soul to the devil, that was pretty cool.

I think i was at that one too, the que for the bar was cuntish though, i went up for a moonshine and black and when i got back to my seat the devil'd been and gone. Typical.

haha, that was probably the strangest freds gig i've been to. the whole crowd cept me and two mates fucked off before they even began. in fairness though, the whole crowd consisted of the three of us, yerself and all the first bands' mates. and no-one knew about the gig either. think i saw one poster in freds and a post here about it a day beforehand or something. and there was some other big enough gig on in cyprus avenue that night too i think.

Also the Parkinsons at Whelans during Heineken a coupla years ago, definitely the lowest turnout ive seen there but still fuckin fantastic.

That was the same night Robocop started busting crusty heads at the RTS demo, wasn't it?

Half the audience were in cells, the other half were outside seeing the Socialist Worker and chanting I'd say...

 

[Davy Chase]

saw the National in the Cobblestone a couple of years ago (about 40 people there). pretty good.

 

[telford collier]

Enon in costellos limerick. worst attendance ever.

 

[Charlie Bucket]

was anyone here at woodstock?

no, but my uncle was at altamont. he didnt like the look of the crowd near the front or the hells angels so he legged it after CSNY's set. lucky for him.

David Holmes, Decal and Tony Sapiano @ The Hippo Club, Cardiff 1997.
5 people there
Great laugh - David Lacey was improv dancing on stage for the gig .|..|

YEAH, the Can Solo Projects gig had an awful turn out. I couldn't believe it, an incredible gig though. That whole Transmissions Festival that time was great though. If Darragh Purcell were to walk in the door I'd shake his hand for that one, two weeks of memorable concerts.

Ferghal McKee's short-lived band Shadow Cabinet played possibly one the greatest gigs I've ever seen though, to about 14 people in the Stables in Mullingar a couple of years back. He slept in the town park afterwards. Amazing show, they were all out if it, the rawest gig I've been to and it easily eclipsed several Whipping Boy shows I'd been to over the years.

And Primal Scream and 808 State at the Point a few Christmases ago, there was cluster of people up the front and that was it. Great gig though.

I won't say in public what I'm prepared to do in return for any video footage of this, please say you have some!!
Dennis once told me he used to wear headbands and lycra cycling pants (panting) and that it was intense and kinda confrontational.

No footage exists
It wasn't Lycra cycling pants, it was waterproof leggings rolled up to the knees.
It also wasn't a headband, it was a knotted hanky.
It ruled, in classic David style, freaked the (out-of-their-minds) ravers out by being more intense and up for it while sober than anyone else in the building.
Best time ever was when supporting Leftfield in The Point .|..|

 

[SONYMEGADRIVE]

lacey should wear a crown around the town

pavement playing galway.

I agree with both of you.
