Branchy Tree presents:

BOXYGEN 2004

The Friday night before the Mor Festival (August 20) there will be a gig in Joe Lee's, Tullamore, starring:

BOXES: Local rotters playing in the pub their drummer's mammy drinks tea in each Wednesday night for the last few decades.

UNITED BIBLE STUDIES: Excellent improv-flugel horn-sean nós debacle.

REST: Hotly-tipped Cork instrumental chaps.

More details to follow, but basically, gig will be outdoor in covered beer garden, anybody who is down on the Friday night, stick yisser heads in...

you'd better play really really loud, that's all i'm saying.

Hmmm. Seems Giraffe Running are going to try to sabotage the gig by showing up at the back gate of Joe Lee's with a generator and playing louder than us.

However would we stop that happening????? That's all I'm saying.

ha ha ha. that was a decoy. telling me what i already told you solves nothing, bigbuoy.

 

[Buckrake]

Ok. so why should it be 'really, really' loud?

this better be good...

A gig in a beer garden? Sounds heavenly.

In the other thread, did we sort out where people could pitch their tents for the Friday night (since we can only setup in the castle grounds on Saturday)? I'd love to come down early.

I'm not sure about this year, but I know that last year it was only performers/helpers who were allowed camp on the Friday night...

There isn't a public camp site in Tullamore...

Hmm.. I'll see if I can find any area B&Bs that aren't booked out for that evening. Presumably there will be a lot of people in town since the Phoenix Festival is happening.

Eh, I don't know really - I'd say it's probably not the type of thing that people travel to.. it's just like any small town summer festival. Bands playing in the town square on the back of a lorry, bar extensions, face painting, bunting.. that type of thing.

You shouldn't have too much trouble. The words 'Tourism' and 'Tullamore' have never appeared in a sentence together before this one.

Does anyone have a number for Mark Boxes?
The one I had seems to be disconnected.

Cheers

 

[madouva]

Cheers to whoever sorted that out.

No relation, as far as I am aware, but his wife is a first cousin of Ray Lynam, of Ray Lynam and the Hillbillies fame. (70s Country 'N' Irish showband, kids).

When I was a kid my dad was a big Dolly Parton fan so her song 'Jolene' was played often in our house. I thought it was called 'Joe Lee' and was about the aforementioned Tullamore publican/accordian virtuoso....
