knew i should have moved to portrush. dammit.

Where'd you get these free tickets from, where are they playing? Undertones are fuckin great, even if they are now pretty much a comedy band. They were still good when I saw them about 3 years ago though!

Anyway, in answer to the guy from Derry's question:

Used to be punk gigs in The Gweedore the odd time, then The Bound For Boston was having gigs for a good while, and The Nucleus was also putting on some punk bands for the kids. The Nerve Centre would still have the odd gig I'm sure, but I ain't heard of much happening punk-wise in Derry recently really. However the North Coast does have a scene of sorts, there are pretty regular punk gigs in Portrush at the Retro I believe the venue is called if you can ever make it out there. Otherwise, go to gigs in Belfast.

I like them both about equally, but the Buzzcocks sure have more punk credibility!
