the squats just all got evicted, but im sure people will let ya stay in different places.
best thing to do is go tto a gig, get really drunk with some local people and then they'll put ya up in theres most likely seeing as they're drunk.

check out dublin obviously, there'll probably be gigs posted up here so keep an eye out i guess.
there might be an odd gig or two in kilcoole in july and theres always a place to crash there.
cork is a pretty cool city, nice old buildings and stuff like that if your into that kinda thing.

theres also record shops in dublin (secret book and record shop, wicklow st) and other places that are probably worth checking out.

The Willy Clancy traditional Irish music festival in Miltown Malbay, Co. Clare on the west coast is happening from the first weekend of JUly through to the second weekend. Camping on the beach, small pubs filled with old men playing trad music, if you like that sort of thing...

hm yeah sounds nice but we got kinda stuck in scotland and will be leaving for ireland (belfast) tomorrow or monday---so, a bit too late for that one...

 

[damien]

belfast on monday 12th july, eh???
be careful, its traditionally the most hassle-filled day of the year as Orengemen light their bonfire and march around the place for some reason. hopefully it wont be too mad this year, but still...
as for gigs next week:

Snowblood (scotland)/Easpa Measa (dublin) irish tour:
sat 17 july: belfast, the duke of york
sun 18 july: cork, freds
mon 19 july: dublin, the green lizard

Dont listen to him. He steals money from bands.

 

[Cormcolash]

Hahaha, you don't want to try and drive through Belfast on Monday!

 

[Willie Willions]

Fucking missed the Willy Clancy festival, I thought we'd be back in time. Maybe next year...

 

[gunther]

i thought we were back in time, but got pissed in galway instead....

 

[hypnagogic]

...were in dublin right now, thinkin about going down to kilcoole and/or cork...or anywhere else that direction if someone offers us a place to sleep for a day or two.
soooo, anyone here with a bit of spare space on the floor/a bed/garden where we can put up our tent, please pm either me or claude.
cheers
