Nice work Neilo.

Is it just me or has DEAF gotten smaller with each passing year, after begining with a big hoopla?

 

[piratio]

I want Deaf's own Karen Walshe on the frontpage - Hottie!

 

[penexpers]

I heard DJ Krush was meant to be playing at this. Was that a lie?

YEAH... THEY SHOT THEIR LOAD WITHTHE STOREHOUSE GIGS.. AND RUBBISH PROMOTION HASN'T HELPED. UNREADABLE POSTERS, NO ATTEMPT TO ATTRACT CASUAL FANS/PEOPLE WHO DON'T ALREADY KNOW ALL THE ACTS. NOT GOOD FOR A FESTIVAL BUZZ.

YOU HARDLY HEAR ANYTHING ABOUT DEAF THESE DAYS!

Battles. The lady wants to go and it's her burfday. Might go to Clark afterwards though. Might see you in Ryan's before.

What a stupid website, everything up there is "Coming Soon"! For such a large festival, you'd think they'd update their pages with at least a press bio or two. They can't even spell Boredoms right!

well its good to hear good old Irish enthusiasm & support coming in for our small independent festival....thanks guys! I really don't know what you think our organisation consists of but let me briefly explain to you...we're a team of 2 people, we get help from friends to get the site up & running amongst other jobs, & we have very little funding when you get into the logistics of putting on a festival, so i would hope a little patience wouldn't be too much to ask.

We're now in our 6th year & doing pretty well, yes we kicked off in 2002 with a big night in the Guinness Storehouse but we felt after being there twice (2 nights in 03) it was time to come up with a new format, sorry if you don't like it but attendance figures over the years prove that some out there do....Coil in Dublin City Hall for example. For the person who was frustrated that our schedule wasn't online (3 months in advance...??) i wonder what festival does have its schedule up that early, i know one recent fest that didn't have the lineup online til the week of. Anyway, we're not interested to get into a silly tit-for-tat negative debate about whether we're ticking all your boxes or not, its difficult to keep everyone happy all the time & we know this. We're proud of what we do, and we work very hard all year (with little remuneration) to put on this event. So if you're still interested we've now completed the schedule which is all on the site www.deafireland.com, & we've just finished our new publication (designed by Niall Sweeney) which is in the printers & should be on the streets free by first week in Oct. Look forward to seeing some of you over the DEAF weekend if it doesn't kill you first with frustration!

thanks
Karen
