Bloomsday is the 16th.

And there's no mention of David Norris on that flyer.

It's the sensual walk, not the sensual mince

or, for some people, to spell.

It's also a difficult book to photocopy

I forgot to mention: Groom are the house band for this!

 

[RED(tape)MENACE]

What does that mean?

 

[snakybus]

It means we'll be playing Black Box and 808 State covers.

 

[Kid Lovebeach]

I forgot to mention: Groom are the booty house band for this!

What does that mean?

Hey folks, as usual I was running around like a blue-arsed fly for this so I didn't find out till afterwards that there were a few people at this gig from thumped. So thanks a million for coming down, people. Much appreciated. I had a blast, and have never been working so flat out for so long.

And I don't know if any of the musicians involved frequent these boards but if they do, thanks a million to everyone who played. Honestly, it couldn't have gone smoother, and this was thanks to the professionalism and no-bullshit attitude of all the musicians, who were all great and didn't complain about not getting a sound check and having to play short sets - Prairie Dawgs were the perfect band to start off the night with their lively, homely country. Thinguma*jigSaw were amaaaazing, Carol Keogh and band absolutely sublime, Ewa Gigon played a brief set of three songs - but what a set! Richer Than Astronauts were fantastic, both on the hill and in the venue, as were Walpurgis Family. Mike from RTA and Kim Porcelli were brilliant playing a song at short notice with little practice. And it was also great hearing Mumblin' Deaf Ro try on some different musical hats by playing some covers of Rufus, Aimee Winehouse and of course Bright Eyes (also great fun for me). Thanks also to the other singers/musicians who got up and sang their hearts out - Robb McCaffree, Ebby (quite a singular talent, this fellow), Magdaleen, Tom Dunning & Your Boyfriends, Paul (not sure of his last name), and of course Sean Twomey. Fantastic day out.

Oh and, thanks to Wil, Jeroen and Ruan from Groom who worked their musical asses off for this as well and dragged gear all the way out to Howth, too.

 

[Squiggle]

I'm sorry I missed this (again). I had to go to a funeral instead.

I walked separately and non sensually that day. Been to Howth many times but never walked the around/up the head. Gorgeous. Took some time out to watch the football and grab dinner in a pub then popped in for a a drink and music. Tom Dunning & Your Boyfriends was very entertaining. Too bad it was only two songs.

 

[oranganut]
