Impression of Irish "Punk" this year: Its had its ups and downs. I think at the minute not too many people are showing up for touring bands so promoters are not putting as many gigs on as they would usually. But I find constantly that there are lots of great bands coming out of Ireland and hopefully things will get even better!

Things to look forward to in 2006: My 18th, going to more gigs, hopefullly playing more music myself and maybe I'll put on the odd gig
