BIG Galway News!!!!! (1 Viewer)

[gugai]

Well, i think it's pretty big anyway. So here it is. Last Saturday, myself and three legitimate business partners bought the Roisin Dubh in Galway. We'll be taking over on June 17th and fully intend to restore it, and by extension, Galway to its former glory. You're all invited for pints over the summer. More details soon..... .|..|

best of luck with it, the last owners left a lot to be desired on the imagination front.

Indded I second EoinOT on that one, I enjoy a daycent pint in Roisin Dubh when I am out west

 

[gugai]

just to clarify, this is gugai here posting the news about the Roisin Dubh. This is not a Joke. As serious as your life. Let the good times roll.

 

[eoinOT]

Haha - this is awesome. Will you move Strange Brew there?

 

[gugai]

No, i'm happy with that in the warwick. we're going to have to keep a couple of the cover bands there until we get a proper feel for the place and not to scare away anyone.......

 

[gugai]

I don't mean that we'll be encourging that type of behaviou, but doing that will let me do the good things.

 

[eoinOT]

I wonder if the cover bands will be quaking in their boots at the news...

 

[gugai]

There are a few worried heads around. A rep from a certain nightclub in town has already been warning them the galway indo that they're going to be going over the ents section with a microscope to look for any bias....

 

[snakybus]

jeez that's brilliant gugai

fair fucks to you

 

[gugai]

There's still going to be trad gigs on there, of course. That's part of the place. Autamata and the Jimmy Cake have been confirmed for the Arts Festival

 

[gugai]

jeez that's brilliant gugai

fair fucks to you

Cheers, it's still a bit overwhelming......

 

[Donal]

sweet! great news

congrats gugai & co ...

 

[Alan Latchley]

Brilliant news. I'm fucken thrilled for you man, and about time someone took the bull by the horns in Galway. Roisin's used to be a magical place, my favourite venue in the country at one point, then it just died in the past few years. The last decent gig of note there was Doves and Starsailor about 4 years ago. Awesome night. Nothing but shite covers bands since.

The Midland massive will be down in due course to toast yout good fortune man. Wishing you every success with it.

fair play!!!!

 

[dudley]

v pleased for ye, g

 

[ddmurph]

cool. best of luck with it. i used to live across from roisin dubh for a while about 3 years ago. there used to be this cover band who seemed to be always playing there but they always played the exact same shit set. same fucking jokes and everything. it's a really nice venue but there was fuck all on there really while i was in galway. was a really nice place for a pint though.

 

[Jim A. Morrish]

yeah, I went to galway for a weekend a few years back chasing a girl i met in london and there was NOTHING to do, all the pubs were playing trad or chart, one of the most musically boring weekends I've ever had.

legged it out of there pronto and never saw her again.
