says you. but i know different. i'm not saying you do it so there ain't no problem between me and you. but it has happened. and maybe continues to... who knows.

i doubt it.

The haymarket gig posters was a split poster with the rednex gig which had about 200 people at it so lack of numbers at haymarket could hardly be explained by 'stolen posters' as that then would affect the rednex show too in theory.

The fact rednex did well and haymarket didn't is purely and simply down to the fact that 99.9% of the population have no idea who haymarket are rather than some phantom poster robber i.m.h.o.

PLUS there was a load of other indie-type gigs on the same weekend including sunburned hand of the man on the same night as haymarket.

Stop spouting unsubstantiated conspiracy theories from your ivory tower in dublin/bristol - it does you (or anybody else for that matter) no good whatsoever.

Rumour and hearsay do not a truth make.

 

[Alan Remorse]

i'll be honest, i had heard something about posters being taken down. dont know why or by who.

i think it was a mix of bad luck and people just plain not bothering their holes.

 

[Jim A. Morrish]

reckon so

[oh shit]

people suck, end of story.

agreed.

 

[Ex-User (250)]

ha, my ivory tower? it happened for the last gig i put on in cork!!! i was just curious if the same thing had happened again. and lo... maybe it did. why are you so concerned about what i say anyway? did you take my posters down?

jim, my friend who helped out with the ZU show in cork SAW someone taking them down on 2 separate occasions. the same person. coincidence? maybe in cork that's what you call a coincidence but, in my ivory tower up here in dublin, i call that really shitty inexucseable fuckology.

 

[Jim A. Morrish]

if what you say is true then yes, it's inexcusable - unless your posters were covering the poster of an event that's not yet happened.

I've been working in the cork msuic scene for more years than i carer to admit and I'll let you into a secret re. promotion down here

In my experience the best ways to promote (in order of effectiveness) are:

1. word of mouth
2. flyers
3. message boards
4. a3 posters
5. Billboards

The reason I get so pissed off with this phantom poster stealer theory is if bands from abroad/outside cork happen upon threads like this they might think twice re. coming to cork which does us no good whatsoever in the short or lng term.

I firmly don't believe it happens systematically as has been implied, sure students might take a poster for their bedroom (I did it myself many years ago when drunk) but for someone to say there's an orchestrated poster stealing campaign is a bit rich to be honest.

why do you insist on saying stuff like "phantom poster stealer theory" when people have actually seen it happen and shop keepers in cork have actually reported seeing this guy doing it repeatedly and sticking up his own posters? why would i make this up? tell me more about promoting gigs...

when someone goes on the record with this and name names I'd give it more credence. It's all very esy to talk about 'people have seen it happening' and 'shopkeepers' on an internet forum - personally i think it's baloney.
