whats the jist of that thread? its very long. or epic possibly.

 

[тхеодоре кацзынски]

something to do with paedophile's.or however you spell it.

 

[LUKAS]

Didn't read metal Ireland thread, but I know that they're refurbishing the downstairs and turning it into a venue to fit around 300 people.
So yea, it could turn into a pretty decent venue.

 

[Cormcolash]

Fibbers is alright as far as venues go, the sound is decent and there's no stupid pillars, it would actually have been good if it wasn't dingy and smelly and didn't have the smoking area beside the stage.

 

[All Day Hell]

I was down there the other day, a lot of work is being done.

Pillars have been taken out, floor lowered, knocking walls, they're building a stage where the bar was and duplicating the gear thats upstairs (which is good gear).

It'll be cheaper to rent as you won't have to pay the girl at the door to take money, this'll have to be done by someone organising the gig as with most other venues. It wont be possible to sneak in through the beer garden either so it does sound promising as a venue.

Also with all the work going on down there the smell should be sorted out to.

Supposed to be ready before the end of the year.

i know its terrible! hey man if you could get into a gig for free you would too.. and sometime a tenner!

 

[Willie Willions]

Yeah, I though Fibber's wasn't too bad for gigs, Gandalf gets a lot of stick
but he's always done a better job of the sound than most venues of that size.

All this refurbishment jazz sounds good, I wonder how much it'll be to rent when it's done though...

Edit: Just read this -

Gandalph's a fuckin' top notch sound man. He deserves a lot more respect than is shown by gimpish posters on metal ireland- the guy is dedicated to delivering the best he can from his gear-he's almost savant like in his MO. If you don't get it you should just fuck off and don't play the venue.
I've never played a multi-band bill and seen every band get an equally good mix like he has delivered on my occasions in there.

 

[Pat Pockets]

Yeah I fully agree, he always does a great job. I used to think he was mental though!

 

[Kev Bones]

Yea, i mean if nobody paid into gigs then bands would always have to pay to play and then there would be loads more great gigs with great bands!!!!

fuck me.

Always liked fibbers. The new setup sounds promising.
