*Scientific Bong/Boys of Summer.
*Windings first few gigs.
*Hero Dishonest/Dagda/Easpa Measa

Ahaha!!
Forgot about that.Probably THE best gigs i was at there - one of the best gigs i was at full stop.A special night indeed.Some gobshite pulled the power switch, but it all fitted in perfectly with the music.

Most gringworthy (but still fun) night was watching the guy from Murder of Rosa Luxembourg standing on a table bawling emotionally all over those of us standing below him.
Another night i remember being seated up front at Feverdream when singer pushed the mic forward and hit my mate joe(pint a stoat in hand, stoned) on the head.Oh the memories.

 

[clonan attack]

a pint of STOAT?

sounds like an amazing venue, does egg know his band come in pint form?

apparently it is. probably not for a while though. there was a list down there that you could sign to receive information from an taisce regarding development plans.

the boat club is to limerick what sydney opera house is to sydney.

they cant knock it ffs!

I think it misses "listed building" states by about ten years. I think its 150 years and older is protected but boat club is 130-something according to the signs on the wall..

Age isn't the only category for listed buildings, though.
