GREYSTONES- RIP Paddy's Hall (1 Viewer)

[Dylan]

Our friend phoned the owner (a developer) who's ben letting us do all the gigs in the hall in greystones to ask about us using the hall for the 30th and he bluntly said no.

It seems his had a phone call from the boys in blue telling him not to let us do gigs after what happened. They were just looking for an excuse to shut us down.

So Paddy's hall is gona forever, no more there gigs ever.

We'll always have our memories though:

now thats what a youth gig should look like. not this sit-down-and-stare-at-the-bands-apatheticaly syndrome that affects almost EVERY underage gig I've ever went to here in Limerick. Except for you own Basta gig in July in Termights brilliant.. Hope you guys find somewhere to keep things going.

 

[xsteox]

thats terriable. sorry to hear that. fuckin' sucks that some close-minded scumbags can do so much damage with their actions.

 

[Gambra]

hahaha.. i love the worried looking mother in the background picture no 21. there's also a bjork lookalike in pic three..

Good pictures, Dylan. I am fond of St Paddy's hall. It is local and HUUUUGE. It took me a while to understand why gigs are put on in the small rooms. I hope it can be replaced. RIP

 

[mackle]

Whoever done that Basta patch on their back nice one! It looks amazing.

Shit one about this place getting closed down though!

 

[Rachel666]

I don't even remember why Ellen and me were laughing. state of me! jesus

diylan, that's such a shame, i hope yis find somewhere else to keep ploughin ahead with.
and that ror picture........im sure it was much appreciated across the board!

 

[Dylan]

yeh i hope we find somewhere new. Nowhere will ever come close to that little room though. It felt like home ya know? .|..|

 

[rowena.]

those photos made me cry!!
some of my best memories are in that hall & it's only been in the past year or so. they're not gonna fucking defeat us.
we'll find a new home
and some serious good bye partying needs to be done in honour of the old one! .|..|

 

[ed in mouth]

hey dylan, i am very confident that there are a number of influential parents in greystones that would be very distressed upon hearing this development... if you get me at all... (politics...)

 

[Cormcolash]

Remember that time the cops showed up outside?

[glen]

Ha, ha, ha - look at the state of him.

 

[La La]

holy shit i only just noticed the No Doubt thing.

 

[Heroic Toby]

That is a damn shame. The show we did there was without a doubt the best show we have ever played (well maybe not our quality but definately fun wise!) we have a brilliant video of the whole thing too which we watch a lot and will try to get clips of up on our site soon.Let us know if there's anything we can do to help and hope you get a new place sorted soonTobyx

 

[seanface]

that fucking sucks. we only got to play there once but it was great fun. it was cool to see so many people just really into it. fucking cops like. i remeber the time we played and they were all over the fucking place. squad cars kept going by and what not. oh well, best of luck finding a new home.|..|
